The Policy Breakfast is a great idea as it brings people from different occupations and expertise to give their views on an issue.

For policy changes, three things are needed—leadership, strong civil society support for change, and good ideas on the table so that policy makers can make the right decisions. And in my view, the policy breakfast format that you have found here brings all those three elements together.

It was a very new kind of experience for me.

IID Policy Breakfast series follows a unique model that evolved over time, and owes much to the Advisory Group members of the Policy Breakfast. IID initiated the series in partnership with the National Democratic Institute (NDI), and now partner with various organisations to organize issue specific policy breakfast.
