ODI’s 7 year DFID-funded Civil Society Partnerships Programme aims to strengthen the voice of Civil Society to use research-based evidence to promote pro-poor development policy. It will do this by establishing a worldwide network community of practice for think-tanks, policy research institutes and similar organisations working in international development.

Please note that the CSPP has evolved into the Evidence-based Policy in Development Network (ebpdn). The ebpdn website is designed as a community website that provides: knowledge on bridging research and policy; details of members of the network; a directory of training and advisory expertise; discussion forums; project areas; and a partnership brokering area. For more information, or to register as a member, visit http://www.ebpdn.org.
