About the MQ

Behind Maslow Quest Foundation is a group of passionate researchers coming together with a shared vision in advocating for a more equalized, fair, and just world.

OUR MISSION

We seek to improve public policy by generating research, providing insight and influencing debate on current and emerging policy issues facing among marginalized groups around the world.
 
OUR PURPOSE
 
We bring together the worlds of research and public policy to improve the lives of people.
 
OUR VALUES
 
We are INDEPENDENT 

We believe the credibility of our research hinges on safeguarding our independence and editorial control across all our activities. We are transparent about who supports us financially.

We are EVIDENCE-BASED

The way we conduct our research is open-minded and meets the highest standards of methodological integrity and rigour. We verify our findings through peer review and/or consultations with experts.

We are COLLABORATIVE

MQ thrives on its relationships with partners from multiple sectors. We regularly convene conversations with outside experts to help advance understanding around key issues and to build productive networks. Much of what we publish is done in collaboration with external researchers, writers and practitioners, who work with us to help inform public policy.

We are INCLUSIVE

MQ seeks to reflect the diversity of our global society by including a wide range of voices in the work that it undertakes. We are also committed to removing systemic barriers to inclusion so that equity-seeking groups are part of important public policy conversations.

We are KNOWLEDGE MOBILIZERS

We work to unlock knowledge so that policy-makers, decision-makers and all parties can gain access to it. We use clear language, encourage dialogue and deploy various means of dissemination to help with this mobilization.
