Area of expertise
How policies, institutions and partnerships shape people’s opportunities, and how global agendas turn into change in specific places.
We examine how development cooperation is designed and delivered, who takes part in decisions, and what difference it makes for the people it is intended to serve.
We follow the global agenda, European Union and member-state policies, and the practice of organisations on the ground. Romania’s path from recipient to provider of assistance offers a perspective on both sides of partnership.
We aim for research that practitioners can use, working with institutions, civil society and funders to design, monitor and assess evidence-based initiatives.
