‘Dumbing down’ the audience
Monday, July 05, 2010 2:50 PM by Enrique Mendizabal
Evidence-informed policies are central to ODI’s mission to link together high quality applied research with practical policy advice. That is why the Research and Policy in Development (RAPID) Programme works to understand better the relationship between research, policy and practice and to figure out how think tanks and other similar organisations can ensure strong links between them. To achieve this in developing countries we have worked from multiple angles. On the one hand, we are helping researchers to communicate their research and engage with policy processes – an action we have further supported by interacting with donor agencies to improve the way they fund and support researchers. On the other hand, we have been working with progressive policy-makers in developing countries to improve their ability to bring evidence to bear in policy discussions.
