MASA Policy Development Programme

MASA Policy Development Programme (MPDP) is a pioneering effort in promoting policy research that has become part of MASA's flagship project, in line with the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK12) which is aligned with the Shared Prosperity Vision (WKB2030) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
The research grant, introduced for the first time in 2021, received an encouraging response with a total of 134 proposals received from 21 public and private institutions of higher learning as well as non-governmental organizations. A total of 30 Policy Briefs were successfully produced - covering policy research in the fields of economics, social issues, education and sustainable development.
MASA congratulates the recipients of the selected MPDP research grants. This success not only reflects the commitment of researchers in contributing to the country's policy development, but also demonstrates the potential of research to have a positive impact on society.
