Download the PDIAtoolkit
Our Building State Capability team has developed the PDIAtoolkit - designed to guide you through the process of solving complex problems which requires working in teams. We call it a Do-it-Yourself (DIY) kit, where the ‘you’ is a committed team of 4-6 people mobilized to work together to solve a complex problem that cannot be solved by one person.
Mapping Project Reveals New Way to Study Government

The work is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States (PNAS).
