HPG work is directed by our Integrated Programme, a body of research designed in consultation with our advisory group. This is complemented by commissioned studies, communications and networking activity.
Our Integrated Programme
 Since 1999, HPG has produced an annual programme of work that combines its different core activities within a coherent thematic framework. This integrated body of research is designed each year through consultation with an advisory group, and gives intellectual coherence to its work, helping to ensure HPG's effectiveness and providing a clear basis for the mobilisation of funds.
Funders of the 11/13 IP (fundraising ongoing): Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), British Red Cross, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), Irish Aid, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Denmark, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Netherlands, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Norway, Oxfam GB, Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) and World Vision International.
Commissioned studies and evaluations
HPG has established a strong record in carrying out large-scale and complex evaluations. These provide a valuable 'point of entry' for our work. They also ensure our work is strongly rooted in field experience, and that the evaluation process is informed by research and other studies we carry out. We are particularly interested in evaluations of strategic significance to the sector, where there are opportunities for learning and effecting change.
