Project
Phase One: Workshop
The Working Group will convene a workshop early in the course of its work to bring together a mix of knowledgeable government officials, NGO representatives and academics to discuss the core questions and identify the most promising policy areas that might yield new or refined recommendations to policy makers. The Study Group’s members will produce a framing document in advance of the workshop to set the initial scope of the issue(s) and discussion.
Phase Two: Producing First Draft and Seminar
After digesting the results of the workshop, the Group’s members will take three to four months to produce a detailed first draft of the final report. This draft will be roughly 20 pages long. Once prepared, the first draft of the report will be presented at an open seminar. Formal critiques will be provided by a panel of experts (academics, NGOs and government officials). The panel’s composition will likely be a mix of individuals who attended the workshop and a couple of individuals who did not.
Phase Three: Final Draft
The input received from the seminar and other sources will be incorporated by the Working Group’s members into a final draft report. This last drafting phase will span three to four months and result in a final report between 20 and 25 pages.
