While the survey is not representative of the views of the entire policy community in Myanmar, the report authors note that gathering perceptions of senior level participants who are often very difficult to reach provides a strong foundation to understand the strengths and weaknesses of local think tanks. IDRC has refined the survey and its methodology through delivery in more than 20 developing countries in 2010, 2013 and 2018 under the Think Tank Initiative. This is the first time it was done in Myanmar under the new IDRC Myanmar Initiative.

The survey results will help inform projects of the Myanmar Initiative that provide organizational development and capacity building to think tanks. It was released today at the roundtable discussion "What policy makers really want from researchers: New perspectives on research and policy" in Yangon, Myanmar. The roundtable is part of an organizational development workshop (Nov 19-Nov 20), marking the start of a new Myanmar Initiative project with Kivu International: "Building Emerging Think Tank Capacity".
