Technical Assistance & Implementation

Abt’s capacity building, learning, and development strategies generate, deliver, and continuously evaluate an array of targeted learning and training experiences. We carefully collect and curate data and research to provide evidence-informed practices as we transfer knowledge and skills to individuals and organizations. Our professional and organizational development approaches give learners the ability to execute their mandates, and provide efficient and effective programs and services.

Abt delivers regulatory guidance and policy support to federal, state, and local agencies developing or implementing new standards and regulations in public health and safety, environmental quality and education. We conduct regulatory and policy analysis to  enhance programs, services, and technology. Our databases, models, and tools withstand scientific and public scrutiny, and we provide rulemaking support to meet tight timelines. Our economic impact analysis studies and other data-driven evaluations aid in policy planning and development. 

For stronger programs that generate cutting-edge, comprehensive solutions, Abt collaborates with government agencies and ministries, their beneficiaries, Tribes, and other organizations on program design and implementation. We provide the full range of technical assistance to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency and to enhance program performance. We apply a cross-cutting lens in strategy development and planning, natural resource damage assessments, services mapping, and technical analyses. In addition, we assist organizations across the data lifecycle, from designing a data-use strategy to measuring and reporting performance to evaluate projects and identify areas for improvement. We also support mobilization of financial resources and program management.  

Abt’s solutions drive measurable impact in public education, stakeholder engagement, and influence operations   in dynamic environments. We help clients reach the right audiences, at the right time, through the most effective channels—combining behavioral science, media strategy, and data-driven methods to inform, persuade, and motivate action.

Our approach integrates the rigor of evidence-based research with the creativity of campaign design and the precision of digital strategy. We draw from decades of experience supporting federal, state, and local agencies as well as foreign assistance and defense missions.    

Our communication specialists leverage deep qualitative and quantitative research to understand the values, concerns, and motivations of target populations. We co-create with communities and stakeholders to ensure relevance, trust, and impact from the start. By deploying culturally attuned messaging, compelling content, and platform-specific engagement tactics, we extend reach and build resonance across audiences.
