RAND-Qatar Policy Institute

RAND

The RAND-Qatar Policy Institute (RQPI) analyzes complex policy problems and helps implement enduring solutions for clients across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. These nations face daunting challenges: Providing children with a good education. Giving people the health care they need. Building effective infrastructures. Creating efficient, transparent government agencies. Preserving the environment and valuable national resources. Making sure that citizens feel secure.

These problems have no easy solutions. Their enormous scope, constraints on budgets and resources, conflicting interests and a lack of reliable information and clear analysis can lead to measures that are less than effective -- or to no change at all. RQPI is committed to helping make changes that make a difference.

RQPI is a collaborative undertaking of the RAND Corporation and the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.
RAND is a nonprofit institution that works to address critical issues in the public and private sectors through objective and in-depth research and analysis. RQPI offers clients access to RAND's expertise in a broad spectrum of practice areas: education, energy, environment, health and health care, child policy, civil justice, economic development, international affairs international security, labor and population, organizational effectiveness, public safety, science and technology, transportation and infrastructure.

The Qatar Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and utilizing human potential throughout the greater Middle East. The Qatar Foundation's expert advice keeps RQPI analyses firmly rooted in regional realities.
