• Research Project on Policy Advocacy
Partner Organization: 21st Century Education Research Institute
Project Duration: May 2014 - May 2015
Project Status: Completed
The absence of independent non-government institutions in the field of policy advocacy led to the formulation and implementation of major domestic policies that lack third-party evaluation practices. This situation resulted in a large number of errors when implementing national policies which was not only costly but negatively affected the country’s development and people's livelihood. At the same time, the lack of experience of private institutions make it difficult to form a dialogue with the government when conducting policy research and advocacy. Based on its years of policy research and advocacy experience and its influence in the field of private think tanks, the 21st Century Education Research Institute engaged domestic and foreign experts in policy research and advocacy to summarize, refine, and study how civil institutions can effectively carry out policy advocacy. By doing so, allow more institutions to carry out policy research and advocacy more effectively, actively contribute ideas and suggestions toward the promotion of China's transformation. The project lasted for one year.
