Philippine Institute for Development Studies

Launched by PIDS in 2015, the APPC aims to convene experts and researchers to flag to legislators critical issues that must be addressed in the immediate term. It is envisioned to serve as a platform to further bridge research and policymaking, and enhance evidence-based planning and policy formulation in the country. Themes featured in previous APPCs include "Institutions and Human Capital", "Building Resilience", "Critical Perspectives on Federalism", and "Harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution".
