Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute: Annual Report 2005

This Annual Report records the achievements of the Palestine Economic Policy ResearchInstitute - MAS in 2005. During this year we began implementing our strategic plan for2005-2007, whichwas developed in 2004 based on a survey of policy-makers’ main priorities. MASʹs approachis strongly participatory, and policy-makers in ministries and elsewhere arecontinuously consulted and involved in setting the research agenda. In the past year MAS has managed to expand its clientele by partnering with severaldifferent local and international organisations in the production of research studies, surveys and evaluations. We have also deepened our cooperation with policy makers in the public sector, which has allowed us continuously to update and adapt our research plan to respond to current policy priorities. A wide range of stakeholders in the public,private and NGO sectors have benefited from MAS’s research results, policy recommendations and workshops in 2005.
