Research & Policy Analysis

 
     

What The  Programme  Does

 The Research and Policy Analysis programme  provides CSPR an opportunity to identify and implement various research and policy analysis activities. These activities help  to galvanise the views of civil society country-wide and  obtain new perspectives on various pro-poor development processes. They monitor and track budget expenditures of government and conduct poverty and other impact assessments to determine the effectiveness of government initiatives and programmes. The programme will equally provide opportunities to strengthen the knowledge and skills of the broader membership of CSPR in the areas of research and policy analysis and thus facilitate local level activities. The Research and Policy Analysis programme will enable CSPR and its members to generate new evidence and viable ideas which will improve the quality of civic input  to pro-poor policy formulation.


Operational Objectives

 The Research and Policy Analysis programme has two operational objectives:

1.   To improve and consolidate the quality of civic input in the formulation and implementation  of  pro-poor policies and programmes                                                                                     

2.   To enhance  the capacity  of  network  members to engage in pro-poor  research and policy analysis by 2008.
