This toolkit provides guidance on how to invent, adopt or adapt ideas to achieve better outcomes. It is designed to be quick to use, simple to apply and particularly helpful for busy professionals working in development. 

The content is based on an extensive review of hundreds of tools currently in use, with only the most useful ones, according to practitioners, being included. 

The tools featured are not novel inventions; many are well-established and widely applied across various sectors. In this respect, the toolkit builds on the work of others. Each tool description includes a key reference, making it easy to trace its origins and explore further literature on its application. 

The toolkit is suitable for policymakers at all stages of the policy process. It allows users to selectively apply resources that are most relevant to their specific project and its current phase within the policy cycle.
