| Profile: |
The Global
Development Network (GDN) was established in 1998, with the
goal of supporting and linking research and policy institutes
involved in the field of development and whose work is predicated
on the notion that ideas matter. Although still in an early
phase, it aims to strengthen the capacity of research and policy
institutions to undertake high-quality, policy -relevant research
and to move research results into policy debates, at both national
and global levels. |
| Approach: |
The GDN offers a range of products and services to support Knowledge Generation,
including: a research grant competition for southern researchers,
a global research project looking at economic growth performance,
and training and other resources to support better use of micro-data;
and Knowledge Sharing, including support for networking, think
tank mechanisms and training. |
| Finance: |
The GDN sponsors include the UNDP, the World Bank ($10 million over three
years) and several publicly-backed institutions from Germany,
the US and Japan. |
