Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,
We hope you are well and safe.
Over the past several months, our team has been working tirelessly to bring to you timely and impactful deliberations on pressing policy issues, with the aim of encouraging debate, advocacy, and actionable solutions. We thank you for your continued support. To keep the momentum going, we need your help.
We are raising funds for our #WebPolicyTalk initiative, to maintain and strengthen the programme and our commitment to serious research. You can read more and contribute, here.
Your presence and encouragement throughout our endeavours has been a pillar of strength and a driving force for our journey, and we look forward to it in the future as well.
The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of our upcoming events, IMPRI's recent publications, and videos of #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.
Wishing you the best for the week ahead,
