Policy Uptake Case Studies

Background of the Program

 The DFAT-funded Knowledge Partnership Platform (KONEKSI) is Australia’s flagship program in the Indonesia knowledge and innovation sector. KONEKSI’s goal is to achieve an enduring relationship between Indonesia and Australia that advances mutual interest and supports Indonesia’s inclusive and sustainable development. The purpose of the program is to increase the use of knowledge-based solutions for inclusive and sustainable policies and technologies. This purpose positions KONEKSI as a vehicle to produce knowledge on complex socio-economic problems, where effective solutions are often beyond a unique sector or category of stakeholders. It will support both the knowledge to policy cycle (K2P) and the knowledge to innovation cycle (K2I), in a complementary and synergistic way. KONEKSI will focus on two End of Investment Outcomes (EOIOs):

1. Australian and Indonesian organisations have increased collaboration and mutual understanding through knowledge partnerships; and
2. Innovative solutions for inclusive and sustainable policies and technologies are generated by knowledge partnerships.

About the Engagement

KONEKSI is seeking a qualified organization/firm to provide service for Policy Uptake Case Studies

The objective of this work is as follows:

Identify lessons to improve uptake of research in policy development and implementation, drawing on a detailed understanding of researcher and government engagement

Working closely with KONEKSI, the organisation will apply appropriate qualitative and participatory research methods to explore the what happened in the process of research engagement, how and why research uptake occurred (or in some cases why it did not occur), and what we can learn from these patterns– including what KONEKSI can do differently to better foster impactful research collaboration
