2020 DPRM
This year's celebration of the Development Policy Research Month (DPRM) in September carries the theme, "Bouncing Back Together: Innovating Governance for the New Normal or Makabagong Pamamahala para sa Sama-samang Pagbangon sa New Normal".
About the DPRM and Theme
Proclamation No. 247, issued by Malacañang in September 2002, declared the month of September of every year as Development Policy Research Month (DPRM). It highlights the critical role of policy research in the socioeconomic advancement of the Philippines.
The observance of the DPRM is intended to cultivate a strong culture of research and use of data and evidence among the country's national and local decisionmakers in policymaking and program planning. Through the different topics highlighted in every DPRM celebration, this event also aims to raise the public's literacy of important socioeconomic issues.
