Arroyo noted that the observance of Development Policy Research Month will provide the means for promoting, enhancing, instilling and drawing nationwide awareness and appreciation of the importance and necessity of policy research as a tool for national socio-economic development. This will also ensure the support of the public for all activities aimed at advancing the quality and standard of policy research in the country.
