No 22, CPD Report from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: This study focuses on the relationship between public policies and research during the Covid pandemic period in addressing the challenges of the marginalised businesses, particularly for SMEs and women-led enterprises, in getting access to financial support (i.e., stimulus loan packages). Theoretically, a knowledge-based policy formulation process generates a policy space where actors and institutions, politics and interests, narratives and evidence intersect altogether. Incorporating these three factors in the context of a developing country is challenging, particularly for the marginalised businesses, since their participation in the policy space is minimal.
