As Mindanao continues its pursuit for growth hinged on genuine peace and development, it needs government policy support that truly answers its specific needs to allow it to progress. It is critical, therefore, for planners and decision-makers to have access to credible and reliable research and studies to anchor their effective plans and policies to accelerate growth and development in Mindanao.

The Mindanao 2020 Peace and Development Framework Plan or Mindanao 2020 calls for the creation of an independent Mindanao research and development center that will provide research-based and evidence-based plans, policy analysis and advices to government, business, and other significant sectors. Hence, the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) established the Mindanao Knowledge, Research and Policy Center (MKRPC).
