Research forms a core part of our strategy to strengthen and support civil society. INTRAC undertakes applied research to further our understanding of key issues around the role of civil society within international development. We identify research topics that will provide civil society with new knowledge and insights in order to improve policies and programmes.
We work closely with our training, consultancy and programme teams to ensure that research findings can be used by both policy makers and practitioners in order to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Another important priority is communicating the findings of our research through publications, our website and through conferences and workshops. We have a number of ongoing research programmes and regularly start new initiatives.
Current research programmes include:
- The architecture of aid, and how this relates to civil society
- Faith-based organisations and development
- Security and development, and working in fragile states
- Monitoring and evaluation
- Civil society
Activities
- Provide research input to INTRAC's ongoing consultancies and programmes
- Write for INTRAC’s publications, including briefing papers and our ONTRAC newsletter
- Promote dialogue between academics and practitioners through seminars and workshops, the NGO Research Programme and the NGOs in Development DSA Study Group
