Research and policy in development: RAPID toolkits
2006
Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
Based on over five years of theoretical and case study research, RAPID has developed a simple analytical framework and a range of practical tools that can help researchers to make better use of research-based evidence in development policy and practice. But to use them effectively researchers need to do three things. First, they need to develop a detailed understanding of the policymaking process; the nature of the evidence they have, or hope to get and all the other stakeholders involved in the policy area. Second, they need to develop an overall strategy for their work and third, they need to be entrepreneurial.

A Toolkit for Progressive Policymakers in Developing Countries
-
The aim of this toolkit is to identify lessons and approaches from EBP in the UK which may be valuable for developing countries. The approaches and tools presented are based on the assumption that the reader is a progressive policymaker in a developing country, and one who is interested in utilising EBP. The intended audience is made up of policymakers and policy advisers in the public sector, rather than those working within the private sector or civil society.
