Policies are key instruments that guide the direction and decisions being taken in a country or institution. The role of research in influencing policy is often overlooked, yet when properly applied, research evidence through production of policy briefs could change processes and programmes in a positive way. Policy briefs are meant to address specific gaps in policy on a specific matter and raise a call to action by policy makers and stakeholders. In addition, Policy Briefs help to bridge the gap between theory and practice, and to bring research institutions closer to the industry and practice.
The policy briefs presented in the current issue aim to inform and inspire action, empowering decision-makers to shape policies and strategies that drive positive change.
