South Asia Network of Economic Research Institutes (SANEI)
Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Self-description:
"SANEI is a regional initiative to foster networking among economic research institutes in South Asia. Initiated in June 1998, SANEI seeks to establish strong research interlinkages among diverse economic research institutes in the region, with a view to making policy more informed.
SANEI organises regional research competitions within the South Asian region annually, and funds select research projects. While attempting to foster high-quality research, SANEI lends special emphasis on capacity building and formation of a South Asia wide professional network of researchers engaged in policy oriented studies."
