 In
preparation for a new research strategy, the Central Research Team
(CRT) at the UK Department for International Development (DFID)
commissioned a series of studies on relevant topics - among them
the topic 'communication of research for poverty reduction'. This
literature review contributes to the study by mapping the current
recommendations and emerging themes in the literature relevant to
this issue, drawing on an annotated bibliography of over 100 documents
from DFID and other development agencies, research institutes, academics
and practitioners.
Conclusions and findings from the documents are summarised in the
literature review, divided into four sections. The first section
sets out the background and, more generally, some links between
communication and poverty. Section 2 presents previous DFID material
on communication of research, and compares it to material from other
bilateral and multilateral agencies. Section 3 summarises the major
concerns and recommendations related to communication of research
for poverty reduction in current literature from research institutes,
think-tanks, academics, NGOs and practitioners. The third section
is divided into three sub-sections: communication to policy-makers,
to researchers, and to end users. Finally, Section 4 discusses some
of the gaps in the field and emerging themes that seem to be potentially
important issues in the near future.
