Research for development is a broad concept that refers to research aimed at providing answers to development problems and is relevant, development-oriented, and conducted in both the North and the South.[1]. It encompasses various aspects of the research process, including planning, management, reviewing existing evidence, learning development research skills, choosing research methods, undertaking ethical research, writing effective research reports, promoting research uptake, and assessing research[2].
Key aspects of research for development include:
- Relevance: The research should be relevant to the development problems it aims to address[1].
- Comprehensiveness: Research proposals, results, and papers should be evaluated with a view to the context, taking into account the broader whole[1].
- Research methods: Various research methods can be used in development studies, depending on the research question and context[2].
- Ethical research: Researchers should adhere to strict moral principles and guidelines when conducting research, ensuring that the rights and dignity of all participants are respected[2].
- Effective research reporting: Researchers should write clear, concise, and well-structured reports that effectively communicate their findings and recommendations[2].
- Promoting research uptake: Researchers should actively promote the uptake of their findings and recommendations to inform policy and practice[2].
- Monitoring and evaluation: Researchers should design and implement monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess the impact and effectiveness of their research[2].
Research for development is a dynamic and evolving domain, with investments in this area often focusing on assisting vulnerable communities in developing countries adapt to global changes, such as globalized markets, population growth, and climate[3]. The goal is to generate new knowledge and skills, identify gaps in development, and inform policy and practice to promote sustainable development.[4]
