Collaboration Between Think Tanks and Government in the Development of Public Policy
some governments in the region are favoring, and help government
and citizens focus on adopting substantive reforms that will ultimately
put their countries on a path toward sustainable development.
To accomplish this, it is essential to generate ideas and concrete policy
recommendations in collaboration with different sectors of society and
provide these to government. These recommendations will help inform
government action and serve as tools upon which those in government
that are truly interested in sustainable development can build. In this
effort, collaboration and the exchange of best practices with other think
tanks in the region is extremely beneficial. Concrete ideas and policies
are often shaped by sharing experiences and networking with other
organizations, which often produces tremendous benefits.
