Maximizing the benefits of water research to international development – What research programmers can do.

Abstract

To maximize the return on funding investments into water research, it is important that research results are made known to potential users. Evidence suggests, however, that this is rarely the case, due to the gap that exists between those carrying out research and research users, such as practitioners and policy makers. This briefing note summarizes how good practice can be incorporated into programme design through consideration of the research partnerships, research management processes and research products.
