A Development Policy Research Agenda is a vital document in ensuring that a government’s planning and development priorities will be translated to the design and implementation of programs for the benefit of the greater majority of its constituents. The crucial importance of research cannot be overstated, especially in a developing country like the Philippines, and more importantly, in a fledgling regional government like the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). 

The enhanced 12- Point Priority Agenda 2023-2025, are the core priorities of the Government of the day where all development plans and development policy research are mainly anchored.
