Hello
Any recommendations on tools or methodologies that can be used to determine the influence/impact that current or new policies can have on a new project that changes the operations of the pharmaceutical supply chain in South Africa? The tool should be able to take into consideration the entire supply chain and focus on analysing multiple policies and legislative instruments (not only one policy like most policy analysis models).

You need physics Emma, and particularly dynamical systems. With that tool, you will pronounce confidently what we do not know. It is more profitable to know what we do not know than what we know, provided we know why we do not know. Best wishes.
Have you thought, for example, of methodologies such as the Global Value Chains?
Hi Emma
I'm not sure what you mean by "tools or methodologies" but there are several policy analytical frameworks that allow you to address multiple policy innovations in a systematic way. For example, in health policy analysis it is quite common to use the 3i's approach -- ideas, institutions and interests. You can google these three words and come up with several policy analyses that use this framework. It is not so much a "tool" or "methodology", as a lens derived from a political economy framework. There are other approaches that are similar; what they do is to ask you to outline systematically the impact of hte various policies. If you combine this with a decent bibliometric approach, you can do an excellent job.
