Local evidence for local solutions

The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) is a Southern-led global organization dedicated to supporting development in the Global South. We do this by providing high-quality, locally-generated evidence that informs better decisions in policy and practice.

We believe that evidence produced from an in-country perspective, by empowered and engaged local researchers, results in: better policy choices, more sustainable development outcomes, and more inclusive policy debates.
