ODI resources capture the latest critical thinking on development issues. Our series range from Working Papers on preliminary research results to Briefing Papers that provide concise, policy-relevant research analysis and recommendations. ODI also produces two international peer-reviewed journals: Development Policy Review and Disasters.
As part of our 50th anniversary activities we expanded our electronic collection of ODI Working Papers and Briefing Papers, digitising those that were previously only available in hard copy. This back catalogue now dates back as far as 1967, documenting persistent challenges in international development as well as the changing path and nature of debates in particular sectors.

It analyses not only how REDD+ may affect the provision of assets necessary for adapting to climate change, but also the role of REDD+ in building processes and functions that develop the adaptive capacity of people at the local level.

At the end of 2011 the European Commission published a Communication on the future of EU budget support.
