THE MULTI-COUNTRY STUDIES ALLOW FOR BOTH COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE ACROSS REGIONS AND COUNTRIES. THE RCBP INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS:- DOING RESEARCH: ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIESTHE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK (GDN) IS LAUNCHING AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM TO INVESTIGATE SYSTEMATICALLY THE CHALLENGES OF DOING QUALITY SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. INFORMED BY A TWO-YEAR PILOT (2014-16), THIS PROGRAM PARTNERS WITH NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TO IMPLEMENT THE DOING RESEARCH ASSESSMENTS: A METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, CHALLENGES AND BOTTLENECKS THAT AFFECT QUALITY AND POLICY-RELEVANT SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH. THE PROGRAM REPRESENTS AN INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT AND ACT ON THE STATUS AND FUTURE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AND GDN WILL LEAD THE AGGREGATION, BENCHMARKING AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF KNOWLEDGE THAT EMERGES FROM THE ASSESSMENT, SUPPORTING IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS TO USE FINDINGS TO GUIDE ACTION ON RESEARCH SYSTEM STRENGTHENING. IN THE PAST YEAR, GDN HAS FINE-TUNED ITS APPROACH BY DEVELOPING THE PROPOSED METHOD, AND CONTINUED TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS AROUND THE PROGRAM SCALE-UP PROPOSAL.- NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - NATURAL WEALTH ACCOUNTING: GDN INC. SUPPORTED THREE STUDIES IN THREE TARGET COUNTRIES (MADAGASCAR, MAURITIUS AND MOROCCO) DURING THE PROJECT GDN INC. DECIDED TO EXPAND THE STUDY IN MADAGASCAR TO A BROADER AREA FOR REFINING THE METHODOLOGY USED AND BUILDING A WIDER SET OF ACCOUNTS. THE STUDIES USED DIFFERENT ANALYTICAL METHODS TO DEAL WITH LOCAL ISSUES REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENT AND CONTRIBUTED BY RAISING AWARENESS ON THOSE ISSUES THROUGH LOCAL DISSEMINATION WORKSHOPS AND A TRAINING AND POLICY DIALOGUE IN PARIS IN NOVEMBER 2015. THE STUDIES WERE ALL COMPLETED IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2016. TO BROADEN THE SCOPE OF ALSO SUPPORTED A SUMMER SCHOOL ON TOPIC OF ECOSYSTEM AND NATURAL ACCOUNTS AT UNIVERSITE DU QUEBEC A MONTREAL (UQAM) FROM 8 TO 19 AUGUST 2016. GDN WILL USE THE REMAINING FUNDS TO FIND A WORKSHOP IN WEST AFRICA IN DECEMBER 2017, AS PER THE EXTENSION GRANTED BY AFD.- BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES (LDC PROGRAM):BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES (WWW.GDN.INT/RCB2014) IS A DEMAND-DRIVEN PROGRAM LAUNCHED BY GDN INC. TO SUPPORT THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUTREACH AND RESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDING EFFORTS IN AND BY INSTITUTIONS BASED AND WORKING IN LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, GDN INC. PARTNERED WITH THREE FORMERLY FOUR) INSTITUTIONS TO IMPLEMENT, MONITOR AND EVALUATE RESEARCH CAPABILITY BUILDING PROGRAMS DESIGNED AND RUN BY THE INSTITUTIONS THEMSELVES. THE PROGRAM, WAS EXTENDED BY 3 MONTHS AFTER AGREEMENT BY THE DONOR (IDRC) TO ALLOW RESEARCH STUDENTS INVOLVED TO TERMINATE THEIR RESEARCH, AND CONCLUDED IN MARCH 2017. INTERNAL/REFLECTIVE EVALUATIONS WERE CARRIED OUT BY THE THREE GRANTEES IN EARLY 2017, AND AN EXTERNAL EVALUATOR HAS PRODUCED A COMPREHENSIVE INDEPENDENT EVALUATION REPORT IN MAY 2017. THE GRANT FOR THE TEAM FROM SENEGAL WAS TERMINATED ON NON-PERFORMANCE GROUNDS. SAVINGS FROM THE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO CORE FUNDS, AND THE TEAM IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE SCALE-UP AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAM.- STRENGTHENING THE RESEARCH CAPACITY OF RELATIVELY SMALL COUNTRIES IN LAC:LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2015, THIS NEW AND INNOVATIVE PROJECT AIMS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PARTICULAR CONSTRAINTS FACED BY SMALL COUNTRIES IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF POLICY-ORIENTED SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH AND STRENGTHEN CAPABILITIES OF SELECT RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY MAKING PROCESS. THE COUNTRIES OF FOCUS IN THE PROJECT ARE THE BAHAMAS, BARBADOS, BELIZE, BOLIVIA, COSTA RICA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, GUYANA, HONDURAS, JAMAICA, NICARAGUA, PANAMA, PARAGUAY, SURINAME, AND TRINIDAD & TOBAGO. IN THE FIRST PHASE, A DIAGNOSTIC STUDY WAS COMPLETED WHICH HIGHLIGHTS MAJOR DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES AS WELL AS EMERGING FINDINGS IN TERMS OF THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH. FOLLOWING A CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST AMONG RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN THE REGION, A POLICY LAB WAS ORGANIZED IN CONJUNCTION WITH GDN INC.'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN LIMA IN MARCH 2016 WHERE SHORTLISTED STUDIES, FOCUSING ON EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN HEALTH AND EDUCATION, WERE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. FIVE TEAMS HAVE BEEN SELECTED AFTER THE POLICY LAB TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN THE SECOND PHASE OF THE PROJECT, BUT ONLY 2 (ECUADOR AND EL SALVADOR) SECURED THE SUPPORT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE NATIONAL MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, A CONDITION THAT APPLIES TO ALL WORK FUNDED BY THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. THESE TEAMS STARTED THE RESEARCH ONLY AFTER THE APPROVAL ARRIVED, WITH SIGNIFICANT DELAY, IN JUNE 2017. THE TEAM IS CURRENTLY IN TALKS WITH THE DONORS TO SECURE A FURTHER EXTENSION OF THE GRANT THAT WOULD ALLOW THE TEAMS TO WORK WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE MINISTRIES IN PILOTING IMPROVED EDUCATION INTERVENTIONS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THEIR RESEARCH, AND TEST THEM IN COORDINATION WITH THE MINISTRIES AND THE LOCAL IDB OFFICES.- MOBILIZING LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FOR COMPETITIVENESS STRATEGIES:THE PROJECT AIMS AT DOCUMENTING HOW GOVERNMENTS AND COMPANIES INTERACT TO IMPROVE OR CONVERSELY PENALIZE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY. THE AMBITION IS ALSO TO CREATE A BOTTOM-UP MOVEMENT TO DOCUMENT POLICY-MAKING FROM LOCALLY GENERATED ANALYSIS AND EVIDENCE AND TRAIN THE LOCAL RESEARCH CONSTITUENCY NEEDED TO CARRY THAT MISSION. THE FOCUS WILL BE ON AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC GROUP OF STATES. AFTER A COMPETITIVE PROCESS, THE GLOBAL PRACTICE AT THE WORLD BANK HAS BEEN ABLE TO HIRE GDN INC. AS A CONSULTANT FOR THIS PROJECT AND A CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED AT THE END OF AUGUST 2015. THE FIRST TRANCHE HAS BEEN DISBURSED. AFTER BEING ON HOLD FROM OCTOBER 2015 UNTIL NOVEMBER 2016, THE PROJECT RESUMED AND GDN INC. LAUNCHED A NEW CALL FOR PROPOSALS IN FEBRUARY 2016. A RESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP HAS BEEN ORGANIZED IN JUNE 2017 IN NAIROBI, KENYA AND THREE HAS BEEN SELECTED IN AUGUST 2017 AFTER A REVIEW BY A PANEL COMPOSED OF WORLD BANK STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE OF THE PROJECT. - NRM IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC - PACIFIC MISSIONGDN ORGANIZED A WORKSHOP AT THE OCEANIA ECOSYSTEM SERVICES FORUM ON 27 MARCH 2017 AND PRESENTED ITS WORK ON NATURAL CAPITAL ACCOUNTING.
