Research for the Developing World

Public Funding from Australia, Canada, and the UK

Beschreibung

Research for the developing world can create evidence on the effectiveness of foreign aid, invent new technologies to help poor people, and strengthen research in poor countries. How do countries determine which policy goals to pursue? This book answers this question based on the history of research funders in Australia, Canada, and the UK.
