ODI was contracted to coordinate the first year of implementation of the 3 year Global Development Network Bridging Research and Policy Project. The project will explore research-policy linkages through surveys, case-studies and workshops and will develop simple tools to help both researchers and policy makers contribute more effectively to improved evidence-based development policies. A key activity during the first year was the collection and analysis of 50 preliminary case studies of existing experience. Click on the links below for more information:
