ForestAction organised a two-day South Asian Regional Workshop on Linking Research and Policy in collaboration with Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA), Sri Lanka and Evidence Based Policy in Development Network (EBPDN), on August 6-7, 2009, in Kathmandu. The workshop brought together researchers, policy makers, think tank groups, academicians, and practitioners from South Asia to share and reflect on their experiences and lessons in relation to research-policy linkages. The participants also shared empirical lessons and insights on different approaches, strategies and techniques adopted at the sub-national, national, and regional levels.
