40 Things (You Just Might Not Know) About PIDS (33/40):Annual Public Policy Conference
In 2015, the PIDS launched the Annual Public Policy Conference (APPC) as the main event and culminating activity of the Development Policy Research Month. The main objective of the APPC is to bring together experts and researchers in the social sciences to flag to policymakers critical issues that must be addressed in the immediate term. It is envisioned to serve as a platform to further bridge research and policymaking, and enhance evidence-informed planning and policy formulation in the Philippines. The inaugural conference had as its theme, “Harnessing Human Capital and Institutions for Inclusive Growth”. In 2016, discussions centered on “Risks, Shocks, Building Resilience”.
For this year’s conference, the PIDS dedicated the APPC to critical discussions of federalism perspectives based on independent analyses and insights from the country’s most prominent scholars of political science, public administration, governance, and public finance. This is to provide policymakers with inputs for crafting evidence-based legislation not just on the proposed shift to federalism but encompassing decentralization reforms in general.
