Selection criteria

We monitor a wide range of publication sources weekly, including donors, NGOs and research institutes. Materials are carefully selected by our researchers to ensure that they are relevant to our topic area, demonstrate good practice or significant insight and represent a range of perspectives. Only the most credible and policy-relevant research, toolkits, analyses and case studies are included.

Newsfeeds

The GSDRC newsfeeds service delivers new additions from the document library to your browser without you having to visit the website. The alert can be set to specific themes or geographical areas or to every time any document is added to the website.
