2017 was a year of network expansion in our work. In 2017, Association Prakarsa involved in cooperation in various international and national networks to strengthen knowledge production and sharing, evidence-based policy advocacy and organizational financing. We hope that these steps will continue to grow in the coming years so that capacity, identity and contribution Prakarsa as a research institution in producing welfare ideas and policy innovation is getting better. In addition, 2017 was a milestone for Prakarsa for the first time, it established programmatic collaboration with an international think-tank, the University of Illinois at Chicago's Health Policy Center.
By paying more attention to the production and sharing of knowledge and engagement, especially in issues of fiscal policy, social policy and sustainable development policies, Prakarsa committed to linking knowledge with policy.
