Study and Research
From Data to Policy: The Role of CSO Research in Driving Social Change in Indonesia
Public policy should ideally be based on evidence, not mere assumptions or short-term interests. In the Indonesian context, civil society organizations (CSOs) are strategically positioned to bring community voices into the policy space through research. This page showcases various research projects conducted by PIRAC. It discusses how CSO research, policy advocacy, and social change initiatives conducted by PIRAC are interconnected in efforts to promote policies that are more just, inclusive, and grounded in reality.
PIRAC’s research experience demonstrates that CSO research connected to policy advocacy can drive more just and sustainable social change. When field data is translated into powerful policy messages, CSOs become not only witnesses to problems but also agents of change.
