The PEPA Microsimulation Tool is an initiative led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT under Policy innovation CGIAR program developed by Foresight and Applied Economics for Impact (FAE) and Data Management & Open Science (DMOS) teams within the PISA4Impact program. This innovative tool leverages artificial intelligence to empower stakeholders in Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA), providing a structured, user-friendly approach to analyze policy issues and support evidence-based decision-making.

As part of the PISA4Impact program, the tool aligns with the program’s mission of fostering research-driven solutions to enable transformative food, land, and water systems. FAE contributes its expertise in socioeconomic research and applied economics, while DMOS ensures robust data management, open science practices, and accessible research tools. Together, we co-create dynamic and practical resources to address complex policy challenges, contributing to sustainable development and progress toward the SDGs.
