PiPP works with local, regional and international partners to carry out relevant research to support evidence based policy making. Our Research Reports detail the findings and policy advice, and are often supported by Policy Briefing Papers and other communications initiatives in order to widely engage policy stakeholders. All of our research methodologies and findings reports are peer reviewed.
Policy briefs
The Institute’s Policy Briefs are short papers on matters of current importance to the Pacific. The papers seek to present a balanced analysis of the policy issues and outline possible courses of action to resolve problems. Our Policy Briefs are written by in-house and partner researchers and peer reviewed through our Advisory Council – although the views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the individual members of the Institute’s Board of Directors or its Advisory Council. The papers are are widely disseminated through the PiPP network, regional media and made available freely on our website.
