Abstract

Creating policy impact through research and policy interface is one of the key objectives of Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE). This story of change highlights how Sustainable Development Policy Initiative (SDPI) changed its approach to stakeholder engagement and communication, which led to the identification and promotion of key stakeholders as champions of policy-to-action for PRISE research in Pakistan. SDPI joined with elected officials at the Ministry of Climate Change to focus on key climate issues facing Pakistan. The political economy plays a huge role in determining the uptake and implementation of research messages in Pakistan.
