| Profile: |
The Institute
of Social Sciences is an international academic centre of social
science education and research, founded in the 1950s. It has
been involved in a wide range of international capacity building
and research projects and advisory services since its inception.
These include long-term programmes of co-operation with teaching
and research institutions and government bodies in developing
countries and more recently in transition countries. Their reach
is global, with projects in Latin America and the Caribbean,
Africa, Europe and Asia. |
| Approach: |
ISS activities
include teaching inputs, curriculum development, contract research,
policy advice on a wide range of issues, and the appraisal,
formulation, evaluation and monitoring of development programmes
and projects. |
| Finance: |
In its
Institutional Capacity Building Project portfolio, the ISS is
largely dependent on one single donor, namely the SAIL Project
Program (SPP). Total turnover for 2000 was over DFL 8 million,
of which DFL 4.1 million was spent on capacity building development
projects, approximately DFL 500,000 on research, and DFL 2.7
million on advisory services. Just over DFL 700,000 was spent
on other miscellaneous projects. |
