Purpose of the DDRN website

DDRN aims to contribute to the inclusion of research and researchâ€�based knowledge in development assistance and in partner countries’ development activities. To achieve this goal, DDRN implements a series of networking and communication activities.

Communication activities broadly aim to make DDRN a key entry point to the Danish resource base and a main channel for communication between researchers and practitioners in Denmark and across North/South.

More specifically, the website is used to:
1) Promote communication among members;
2) Enable that interested development researchers and practitioners know how to use DDRN;
3) Provide timely access to quality research�based information of relevance to researchers and practitioners.

DDRN links more than 2000 researchers and practitioners from different professions, thematic fields, and geographic regions. Information about this quite unique and broad member base, together with a high number of news items of relevance to the areas of research and work of the members constitute the
unique value of the website of the network.
