At the XX International Conference on Public Policy & Management (19–21 August) organised by Centre for Public Policy, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, CBPS held a special track on ‘Using Participatory Methods for Community Engagement and Policy Advocacy.’
As part of this track, we facilitated two workshops:
The Development and Utility of Process Indicators (PI) for Social Change using Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)
Come, Let’s Build an Anganwadi
In addition, conference participants engaged with a set of interactive activities on gender-responsive budgeting developed by CBPS:
What’s Your Gender Budget Personality? (Quiz)
Roll the Dice: The Gender Budget Adventure (Board Game)
Around the World with a Red Briefcase (Interactive Display)
The track concluded with a presentation by Abida UC, Syed Mohiuddin Khadri, and Arvind Thadi, with inputs from Shruti Krishnan from Tarkham, reflecting on the team’s experiences in gamifying research outputs through participatory approaches, highlighting both opportunities and trade-offs. These workshops and activities were hosted during our policy festival – Neeti Habba.
Niveditha Menon, Sowmya J, Abida UC, Vidhi B Shah, Syed Mohiuddin Khadri, Joann Miriam Mathew, Arvind Thadi, Aanaida Rehman, Vamadeva Srinivasan and Venkatesh Pillai represented CBPS at the conference.
