Collections of articles, publications, and multimedia products created to highlight IDRC's work in a particular area.
IDRC on Democratic Development 2008-06 Helping women in India demand equal rights, studying the role of political parties in the Middle East, and involving Brazilian youth in the democratic process — these are just some examples of how IDRC-sponsored research fosters good governance. Open file Research in the Middle East and North Africa — Lebanon's ESDU: Championing research for development 2008-04 An IDRC-funded research project in an isolated, poverty-stricken region in northeastern Lebanon has had farreaching impacts. From introducing a dynamic new research approach for managing natural resources in the Arsaal district, to the creation of Lebanon’s Environment and Sustainable Development Unit, the legacy of that initial project is being carried out by a new generation of researchers. Open file IDRC on Private Sector Development 2008-01 Entrepreneurship can promote efficiency, create poverty-reducing jobs, and ease hardship. IDRC has long valued industry, trade, and commerce as engines of economic growth. Open file IDRC on Climate Change Adaptation 2007-11 Climate change is not just an environmental problem: it also threatens development. For this reason IDRC was funding research on human adaptation to climate change and variability long before the term “global warming” began to dominate the world’s headlines. Open file IDRC on Information and Communication Technologies for Development 2007-11 IDRC was one of the earliest development agencies to embrace information and communication technologies (ICTs) as powerful tools for reducing poverty, for combating HIV/AIDS, and for fostering good governance. This brochure describes a small sample of the many ground-breaking ICT projects that IDRC has supported in recent years. Open file Research in the Middle East and North Africa — Fez: The e-capital of Morocco 2007-11 The city of Fez has become an award winning model for the effective use of ICTs in public service delivery in Africa. Open file IDRC on Equality for Girls and Women 2007-02 Every International Women’s Day, we pause and celebrate the progress already made toward equality and justice for women and girls. The occasion also reminds us that fighting for women’s rights is not a seasonal effort, but is a year-round and long-term challenge. Open file IDRC on Microfinance and Poverty 2006-11 IDRC assumes that people on the ground are the real experts. They understand better than anyone does what needs to happen so that they will be freed from poverty. IDRC’s role is to help local researchers to express these needs — and to find solutions that work. Open file IDRC on Just Societies and Healthy Democracies — Afghanistan 2006-11 Women play a central role in reuniting shattered families and rebuilding fractured communities, often with little official support. Despite national and international agreements guaranteeing equality, many women are unable to exercise their rights and realize their full potential. Such is the case in Afghanistan. Open file |
