The CPR Policy Brief Series represents the Centre for Policy Research’s commitment to the scholarly exploration of Social, Economic, and Environmental domains. We aim to share multidisciplinary research findings with policymakers from around the world in the hopes of enabling evidence-based policy formulation. We strive to provide stakeholders with rigorously vetted information, which can assist in developing policies that are not only intellectually robust but also equitable and forward-looking. Our policy brief series as a platform for scholarly discourse, promoting innovative solutions to complex challenges, and advancing societal progress through informed policy action.
