The Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) will hold a virtual forum (via CISCO Webex) on September 1, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, as a prelude to the 18th Development Policy Research Month (DPRM) celebration this coming September.
Led by PIDS, the DPRM is an annual event held every September to promote awareness and understanding of the importance of policy research in formulating evidence-based policies, programs, and projects. Each year, a theme is chosen, and activities are held to encourage informed dialogue and discussion of key issues related to the theme.
This year’s theme is “Bouncing Back Together: Innovating Governance for the New Normal” (Filipino translation: “Makabagong Pamamahala para sa Sama-samang Pagbangon sa New Normal”) to highlight the importance of innovating governance across all sectors of society to steer the country toward the path of renewed growth and dynamism. Further details about the DPRM and this year’s theme and activities may be accessed from the DPRM website at https://dprm.pids.gov.ph/.
Assistant Secretary Rolando Toledo of the Department of Budget and Management, Assistant Secretary Carlos Abad Santos of the National Economic and Development Authority, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Assistant Governor Iluminada Sicat, and Mayor Abigail Binay of Makati City were invited as panelists to share their insights about this year’s DPRM theme.
The webinar will be streamed live on the PIDS Facebook page (https://.facebook.com/PIDS.PH).
