Bridging Research, Policy
and Practice Workshop
7th December 2006, University House, ANU, Canberra
This one-day workshop, held at ANU, Canberra in December
2006, was facilitated by John Young, Director of Programmes,
Research and Policy in Development, ODI, London and Sudarno
Sumarto, Director, The SMERU
Research Institute, Jakarta. The workshop was designed
for researchers, consultants, the private sector, policy makers
and development practitioners and focused on practical strategies
for bridging research and policy, taking into consideration
the development of economic policy that focuses on the very
poor. It allowed participants to:
- share their own experience in using research-based evidence
to influence development policy;
- learn the latest theory and practice of bridging research
and policy;
- review research designs that have a built in policy application;
and
- practice using new approaches and tools.
Participants were asked to come to the workshop prepared
to tell a story about which they have some first hand knowledge,
where research-based evidence did, or didn't influence policy
or practice. The stories were required to include information
about the policy issue, the evidence, the context within which
it took place, the key players, the events as they unfolded
and the final resolution. While the workshop itself allowed
only a limited amount of time to practice using the tools,
participants were provided with a comprehensive set of handouts
with more information about other tools and approaches to
try out after the workshop. These included:
