Abstract: Policy papers are essential tools in public policy advocacy, providing concise, evidence-based recommendations for policymakers. However, limited knowledge and skills in policy paper writing among researchers at Litbang Kabupaten Alor have hindered effective policy decision-making.

Participants acquired hard skills, such as policy paper writing techniques involving problem analysis, formulation of policy options, evidence-based recommendations, and soft skills, including critical thinking, collaborative communication, and strategic decision-making. Evaluation results indicated a significant improvement in participants' scores, from an average of 48% in the pre-test to 82% in the post-test, reflecting the success of the participatory approach employed during the training. Additionally, more than 75% of participants actively engaged in discussions and practical simulations, further strengthening their technical and collaborative skills. This program underscores the importance of continuous training and mentoring to produce innovative and strategic policy papers that support effective governance.
