The mission of the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K) is to coordinate poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia. As part of its tasks, TNP2K conducts and commissions research reports and studies with the objective of facilitating and informing evidence-based policy planning (http://www.tnp2k.go.id).
