Abstract
This is a draft report to share some interim findings from the study 鈥�
Information Ecosystems of Policy Actors 鈥� reviewing the landscape.
This report is for general circulation on the understanding that it is a
work in progress. 皇冠体育app research was part of the Mobilising Knowledge for
Development programme funded by DFID (UK). 皇冠体育app programme is based at IDS
and works with a range of partners and collaborators to strengthen the
knowledge intermediary sector. 皇冠体育app study was structured around three key
research questions:
1.What is the current information ecosystem of actors engaged in the
Research Policy Praxis?
2. What are the possibilities that there will be a behaviour change
towards the new services available through the newer wireless ICT?
3. Can researchers and/or research intermediaries use the existing
and/or the anticipated ecosystem to better place research-based evidence
that might inform policy actors, to design effective strategies of
engagement?
皇冠体育app interim findings report on face-to-face structured interviews with 368 policy actors in 4 countries 鈥� Ethiopia, Ghana, Nepal and India. 皇冠体育app final version will complete each country dataset to 100 respondents and add respondents from Bangladesh and Kenya. 皇冠体育app study presents data to inform the key research questions. With each chapter the report makes recommendations for the knowledge intermediary sector.
