✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Bridging research and policy is a topic of growing practical and scholarly interest in both North and South. Contributions by four experienced practitioners and in four papers by researchers illustrate the value of existing frameworks and add four new lessons: the need for donors and research foundations to foster research capacity and to protect it from political interference; the need for researchers to use detailed case material in order to inform high‐level policy debates within and across national boundaries, often by working in cross‐country teams; the importance of presenting research results in such a way that they cannot be over‐simplified; and the value of creating alliances between researchers and civil society advocacy groups.
