The first year of the Policy Commission’s work included a series of formal and informal consultations with policymakers and academics that strengthened the initial framework set out in November 2001. During the research and publication phase, the Policy Commission has continued to consult with regional thematic experts and leaders to finalize the content of reports and has partnered with various organizations to release the case study findings and recommendations.
