On Monday, January 22, 2024, the Graduate Students Association of Ghana (GRASAG National) officially launched the GRASAG Policy Research Index (GPRI).
The GRASAG Policy Research Index (GPRI) is a pioneer initiative designed to systematically evaluate and influence policy directions through rigorous research within the postgraduate student community. This strategic move positions GRASAG not only as an observer, but as a key participant in shaping policies that promote the well-being, growth and success of both postgraduate students and the broader Ghanaian society. The initiative would be spearheaded by the GRASAG Research Directorate with a team of policy research experts.
Mr. Emmanuel Owusu, the National President, emphasized that the GPRI initiative will significantly enhance the national policy discourse in Ghana. He expressed: “GRASAG is poised to take the lead in shaping the policy research agenda in Ghana through GPRI. Our commitment is to conduct research on key national policy initiatives, providing data-backed insights to assist present and future governments in making informed decisions. As the National President, my vision is to transform GRASAG into a functional policy research organization that actively contributes to nation-building”.
