A team from the Eswatini Economic Policy Analysis and Research Centre (ESEPARC), Swaziland visited KIPPRA on 31st August 2022 and exchanged ideas on collaborative research in regional issues.
The meeting was also a learning mission for ESEPARC, which has earmarked KIPPRA as one of the institutions from which they can draw invaluable lessons in generating empirical evidence that shapes policy discourse.
Some of the issues that were focused on think tank’s environment, performance management for research and administration. Among the specific issues that the ESEPARC management staff wanted to learn from KIPPRA include stakeholder engagement, capacity building, publication of research work, how to become successful think tank in Africa, various ways of working with the government and the possible structures for a research team.
