At European Research for Development Policies, we are passionate about driving positive change and advancing development policies through collaboration, dialogue, and evidence-based approaches. Our organization serves as a catalyst for connecting policymakers and the research community to address complex development challenges effectively.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support evidence-based policymaking and enhance the effectiveness of development policies at the international, regional, and country levels. We strive to foster a vibrant and inclusive platform where policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and thought leaders can come together, exchange knowledge, and develop innovative solutions to tackle pressing development issues.
Our Approach
We adopt a multifaceted approach to achieve our objectives. Through two main channels of engagement—the European Report on Development and Policy and Research Workshops for Development—we facilitate meaningful dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
The European Report on Development is our flagship initiative, offering in-depth analysis, insights, and evidence-based recommendations on a wide range of development topics. By synthesizing the latest research and engaging with experts from around the world, we provide policymakers, researchers, and organizations with valuable insights to inform their decision-making and shape development policies.
Policy and Research Workshops for Development serve as vibrant platforms for interactive discussions and idea exchanges. These workshops bring together policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and thought leaders to explore emerging development challenges, share practical experiences, and collectively devise innovative approaches and solutions.
