Under its Management of Social Transformation (MOST) Programme, UNESCO acts as the regional convening power in conducting a Structured Research-Policy Dialogue Programme (SRPD) that will aim at advising governments on embracing development models that are more people-centred, inclusive, participatory, and sustainable.

  • Bringing intellectuals, thinkers, scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners together
  • Creating a laboratory of ideas that is oriented towards policy actions using Foresight
  • Repositioning the Social and Human Sciences as critical disciplines in the higher education system
  • Promoting Pluri-disciplinary, Multi- stakeholder approach, and Quality policy dialogue
