Abstract

This section contains papers by Maureen O'Neil, President of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), and Masood Ahmed, Director General of the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Based on her experience as a researcher and policy‐maker, Maureen O'Neil proposes three essential elements for research to have policy influence. First: intent, that is researchers should be focused on changing policy. Second: engagement, which is about researchers building personal relationships with policy‐makers. Third: public participation, which is about building structures by which civil society voices can be brought to bear. Masood Ahmed also emphasises the importance of close relations between researchers and policy‐makers, sometimes helped by ‘translators’, people who have credibility in both research and policy communities. He also notes the importance of the ‘multiplier effect’—i.e. that the combination of research from different disciplines and different methodologies is much more compelling than isolated studies. The section also contains the conference discussion spurred by their interventions. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
