The Public Policy HUB | ملتقى السياسات العامة

The Public Policy HUB is an initiative that was developed at the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) in October 2017. It was established by Laila El Baradei (as Principal Investigator), Shahjahan Bhuiyan (Co-PI), and Mohamed Kadry (Program Manager) and designed to fill in the policy research gap. It provides the mechanism by which the good ideas, plausible answers, and meaningful solutions to Egypt’s chronic and acute policy dilemmas can be nurtured, discussed, debated, refined, tested, and presented to policymakers in a format that is systematic, highly visible, and most likely to have a lasting impact. The Public Policy HUB provides a processing unit where policy teams are formed on a regular basis, combining experienced policy scholars/mentors with young creative policy analysts, provide them with the needed resources, training, exposure, space, tools, networks, knowledge, and contacts, to enable them to come up with the sound, rigorous and yet creative policy solutions that have a greater potential to be effectively advocated and communicated to the relevant policymakers and to the general public
