The materials included in this resource pack formed part of an ODI / CPRC Workshop held on 17th and 18th January 2005 at the Overseas Development Institute in London.

The workshop was intended to provide a forum for discussion around policy engagement for pro-poor policy change. Initial presentations highlighted the role of policy entrepreneurs and the importance of understanding the political and policy context when designing research and constructing research dissemination strategies – if research findings are to have any hope of feeding effectively into policy change.
