Introduction

Global Development Network (GDN) believes that significant contributions to development can be made by supporting the capacity development of social scientists in developing and transition countries. GDN connects researchers across borders by encouraging North-South and South-South collaboration, both physically, through its grants and scholarly venues, and virtually, through GDN’s electronic platform, GDNet.

GDN provides a niche service in research capacity building and global interconnectedness to social scientists. Its International Organization status gives GDN the ability to work on a wide range of global development challenges with an independent perspective.

Why Support GDN?

CAPACITY BUILDER

Supporter in Focus

Santiago Levy,
Vice President for Sectors
and Knowledge, IDB

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has successfully partnered with GDN by supporting a range of activities. These include case studies from Latin American countries under the umbrella of GDN's Global Research Projects, inter-regional research and policy dialogues between Latin America and Asia, the Pacific and Caribbean, as well as bridging the gap between research and policy by enabling participation of both sides at GDN's Annual Global Development Conferences. Santiago Levy, Vice President for Sectors and Knowledge at the IDB, views GDN as an important vehicle and partner for linking Latin America and the Caribbean to the rest of the world, particularly Asia.

Currently, projects on Governance and Public Service Delivery (education and water in particular), Urbanization and Macro-economic Volatility are being carried out by GDN with IDB's support and intellectual partnership.
