• Improvement in budget allocation system,
and flexibility for provincial and district
authority to reallocate funds
• Flexibility for schools re: use of funds

members
• More flexible structure of BOS team,
depending on the competence of Working
Units
• Mechanism from deconcentration budget to
special funds allocation for education is being
explored.
13
14. V. CHALLENGES (1)
• Making policymakers begin to understand the
value of evidence-based research
• Understanding the political dimensions of specific
policy changes
• Building institutional bridges to improve
communication and effective interaction between
researchers and policymakers, and to strengthen
the integration of policy and evidence.
14
15. Challenges (2)
• Amplifying research findings and policy
recommendations through publications, policy
briefs, newsletters, website and links, and other
channels/networking
• Establishing convening network to develop
systematic and sustainable linkages between
researchers, national planning board, related high
level policymakers and practitioners
15

16
17. VI. LESSONS LEARNT (1)
• Openness of policymakers to accept and accommodate
input from outside is crucial
• Political will from policymakers is essential to have
research findings getting translated into actual policy
change
• Translating/linking research and policy is a not so easy
undertaking,
• Strong evidence and the urgency of the issues/policy/
program may speed up the political process towards the
adoption of research findings and recommendations.
17
18. Lessons Learnt (2)
• Determining policy options and selecting research
findings that have practical application
• Monitoring and evaluating the policy impact of
SMERU’s findings and recommendations is a
continued challenge.
• Policy impact on decision making is often
restricted by its voluntary nature.
18
19. Lessons Learnt (3)
• Institutional integrity, objectivity, capacity, and
research quality are paramount.
• The policy capacity of the executive,
legislative, researchers as well as other
stakeholders need to be strengthened.
• Direct participation in policy making is more
effective as it offers the opportunity to
convince policy makers and provide direct
inputs for policy.
