Bridging research and policy is a topic of growing practical and scholarly interest in both North and South. This book illustrates the value of existing frameworks and also adds new lessons: the need for donors and research foundations to foster research capacity and to protect it from political interference; the need for researchers to use detailed case materials in order to inform high-level policy debates within and across national boundaries, often by working in cross-country teams; the importance of presenting research results in such a way that they cannot be over-simplified; and the value of creating alliances between researchers and civil society advocacy groups.
