This brief seeks to highlight the need for increased coordination between the UNGA and UNSC. It uses data-based techniques to analyse the mentions of four issues—climate change, terrorism, disarmament, and refugees—in UNGA debates, and examines the UNSC resolutions on subjects that saw the most mentions of specific words related to these issues.

This brief analyses the manifestos of the Indian National Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party in the past four Lok Sabha elections. It introduces the concept of “falsifiability” to evaluate whether promises made in manifestos can be verified, to begin with; it then outlines the poll promises that are falsifiable across various sectors. The authors examine whether or not the promises were fulfilled, and if not, if they were carried again in the manifesto for the succeeding Lok Sabha election—the aim is to get a window into the accountability of the ruling party. The brief offers a novel view of manifesto designs in India.

Together with the team at the WHO, CPC Analytics developed a bibliometric analysis of academic publications in the space of public health policies around alcohol consumption. In close coordination with the team at WHO, CPC Analytics wrote the manuscript that was eventually accepted by BMJ in 2022.
We consult private and civil society organisations and governments to inculcate data and evidence driven decision-making.
For Pune City, we helped set up a Public Health Intelligence Hub - a first in India. This Hub will help monitor local population’s health, assess health threats quickly, and guide local level interventions and make decision-making more evidence-driven. The analytical intelligence component of the Hub, will enable better preparedness, better planning, and faster responses to health events.
Analysis of the different countries pandemic preparedness around the “Pandemic Fund.” This involved conducting discussions with the team at Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) as well as with the GIZ-team on Germany’s positioning in the negotiations from September 2022 to January 2023.

Building a quantitative optimized model for distributing COVID-19 vaccines from manufacturing facility to local distribution centres across all states in India. The model recognized India’s prioritization model as well as vulnerable populations based on regional and local data. The model's outputs and implications were validated by experts (policy makers / agencies, supply chain experts).

The joint Lancet and Financial Times Commission entitled Growing up in a digital world: Governing health futures 2030 explored the convergence of digital health, artificial intelligence (AI), and other frontier technologies with universal health coverage (UHC) to support attainment of the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). CPC Analytics supported the Commission with policy research and data analysis over the two years of its research period from Octobre 2019 to December 2021 and contributed significantly to the report. It was publicly presented at the World Health Summit in Berlin on the 25 October.

The German Network against Neglected Tropical Diseases commissioned CPC Analytics to conduct a study on the status quo as well as future opportunities and drawbacks of an integrated strategy to combat neglected diseases. For that purpose, CPC Analytics 1) conducted expert interviews with NGOs, firms, and implementation agencies, 2) identified and analyzed relevant development assistance projects through the BMZ’s database, and 3) wrote a report on the findings. The study was eventually presented and discussed in various fora.

Based on a working paper commissioned by the World Health Organization, CPC Analytics examined and conceptualized ‘commercial determinants of health’ as a unifying concept to capture and illustrate the dynamics between social processes, the power of the economic actors, and health. The findings and the concept were integrated into a peer-reviewed article in the Lancet.

In the context of a multi-year project of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva on the health economy and its relevance for global health, CPC Analytics conceptualized the health economy, identified relevant quantitative evidence, and analyzed the health economy through different country case studies. We also supported the Graduate Institute in compiling a book on the health economy which was published in Fall 2018.

The Bertelsmann Stiftung commissioned CPC Analytics to investigate the potential benefits of a closer data exchange collaboration between India and Europe. We explored the Indian AI landscape, Germany’s need for access to larger data pools, as well as requirements to make cooperation possible. We found that the long-term prospects are promising.

CPC worked with Save the Children to map incidences of child sexual abuse (CSA) in Delhi. In the absence of public First Information Reports that would allow us to get a basic understanding of the situation, we scrapped newspaper reports of the incidences and created a data set of crimes. Using this, we identified trends and patterns in CSA (such as the age and background of the victims and offenders) and conducted a spatial and temporal analysis of the crimes. The findings of the report were presented to the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights and representatives from the Delhi government and the Child Rights Committee.

Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik commissioned CPC Analytics to identify and analyze different datasets related to global health. The focus of the assignment was the analysis of German health-related goods and health-related funds for development assistance. Other topics such as foreign direct and portfolio investments as well as health burden statistics were analyzed and visualized, too. The final results were presented at the SWP among a group of policy makers from German ministries.

The German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ) in India commissioned CPC to analyze the impact of Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) violations on the probability of loan defaults among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in different Indian states. The analysis included the creation of an entirely new dataset with ESG violations of firms generated from news articles, court rulings, and other public documents. We applied an econometric model to find evidence for a statistical connection between ESG-violations and the financial health of firms. Based on this study, CPC Analytics was commissioned to analyze real bank data to test whether the model developed in the first phase worked in real-life conditions. We presented the results to the members of the Indian Banking Association.
