- A study using computer models to predict effects of climate change on human wellbeing
- G. C. Nelson; M. W. Rosegrant; A. Palazzo / International Food Policy Research Institute, 2010
- This report addresses the potential scale and geography of climate change in order to identify which populations and areas will be most affected and to help policy makers facilitate adaptation. The research uses computer modelling bas...
- How research brokers and intermediaries support evidence-based pro-poor policy and practice
- Human Sciences Research Council, South Africa, 2010
- The 'Locating the Power of In-between conference' in Pretoria, South Africa in July 2008 shone a spotlight on the role research brokers and intermediaries play in evidence-based pro-poor policy and practice. This report of that...
- Open licenses promise significant value for funders, grantees and for the public good
- P. Malone / Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University, 2009
- This document examines the extent to which charitable foundations are aware of and have begun to use open licenses such as Creative Commons or the GPL. It highlights examples where foundations have begun to take advantage o...
- Greater economic benefits from pooling regional resources in East and Central Africa
- J. You; M. Johnson / International Food Policy Research Institute, 2008
- This paper explains that given that many countries in the East and Central Africa region are small and face similar agro-ecological, climatic, and development challenges, relying on expensive national research and development (R&D...
- Managing water reserves in the North-western Sahara aquifer system
- Sahara and Sahel Observatory, 2008
- The North-western Sahara aquifer system (NWSAS) shared by Algeria, Libya and Tunisia contains considerable water reserves; however, it is largely unrenewable and not fully exploitable. This resource is now confronting many risks due t...
- Facilitating policy-making for sustainable development: exploring the Natural Capital Approach
- V., A. Voora; H., D. Venema / International Institute for Sustainable Development, Winnipeg, 2008
- Natural Capital is gaining considerable interest as a means for devising policies that reconcile economic and environmental imperatives.This concept paper, funded by Environment Canada, explores the Natural Capital Approach as a...
- Namibia's economy: bearing the brunt of climate change impacts
- L. Sahlén; H. Reid; J. MacGregor / International Institute for Environment and Development, 2007
- Climate change is likely to exacerbate the dry conditions already experienced in Southern Africa; but these predictions gain little policy attention in Southern African countries. This paper discusses how Namibia must take steps to pr...
- Linkages between research and policy-making
- K. Brock; E. Harrison / Department for International Development, UK, 2006
- This research brief explores the linkages between research and policy-making and is based on a review of 35 Natural Resources Systems Programmes (NRSP). The brief argues that for research to influence policy both researchers and those...
- Improving the interaction between policymakers and conflict research
- C. Church / Initiative on Conflict Resolution and Ethnicity, 2005
- This report presents the findings of a project examining the relationship between the research and policy worlds, looking at the extent to which, if any, research on conflict issues is being used in the development of policy. The proj...
- Researchers need to be better trained in how to influence policy
- J. Court; J. Young / Overseas Development Institute, 2004
- This article argues that while better use of research-based evidence in development can help to save lives, reduce poverty and improve the quality of life, for this to happen more effectively researchers need to do three things. These...
