In 2008, the year the Economic Policy Research Network (EPRN) was established. EPRN is a joint partnership of; IPAR, World Bank, National Institute of Statistics, Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, and the National University of Rwanda.

EPRN aims to build a community of economic policy practitioners in Rwanda. It brings together researchers and analysts working in economic policy, poverty reduction and related fields through collaborative training, research and policy debate.

The EPRN is hosted by IPAR, which coordinates all the network’s activities. This creates a good opportunity for IPAR to engage government and other stakeholders in debates and dialogue about policy issues.
