We have reached the last quarter of 2023. This month, SMERU engaged in numerous discussions with policymakers. In addition, we organized the 2023 Forum Pembangunan Daerah (FPD), or the Regional Development Forum in Kupang, in collaboration with the Provincial Government of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

FPD is an annual forum SMERU organized in partnership with various regional governments to facilitate policy dialogues and disseminate research findings. We are pleased to share highlights of this year's FPD with the theme "Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Development and Poverty Reduction in the NTT Province".

Furthermore, this month's Nawala SMERU also features information about SMERU's research findings published in multiple formats, including research reports, videos, and popular scientific articles.

If you're passionate about making a greater impact in the fight against poverty, we encourage you to enroll in the poverty alleviation policy analysis training held by the SMERU Learning Centre on 3-4 October. This training will expand your understanding of effective policy strategies in addressing poverty.

Again, we appreciate your loyalty and support as dedicated readers.
