To design transformative policies, countries can’t simply import solutions from elsewhere. Our research:
- informs decisions on changes to a specific existing policy or on the development of a new policy.
- feeds into broader economic policy strategies and high-level agenda setting.
- supports the development of better systems, processes and tools that facilitate the use of data in decision-making.
- builds capacity through research-policy partnerships
