Linking Research, Policy and Practice Dr Niamh Gaynor IAP Director

The Context: The ‘Evidential Paradox’ ‘Better utilisation of research and evidence in development policy and practice can help save lives and reduce poverty’ (ODI, 2004). ‘Better utilisation of research and evidence in development policy and practice can help save lives and reduce poverty’ (ODI, 2004). But… But… –Policy uptake: ‘the whole life of policy is a chaos of purposes and accidents’ (Edward Clay, 1984), –Research relevance: much research divorced from real issues on the ground, –The result… limited impact of research on policy and practice (DfID, 2007).

How does research contribute to policy? Traditionally the link has been viewed as a linear process. Traditionally the link has been viewed as a linear process. But this traditional view now being questioned. But this traditional view now being questioned. –The linear model is no longer assumed, –Nor is there a clear divide between researchers and policy makers. Literature on research-policy link is now moving towards a more dynamic and complex view that emphasises a two-way process between research and policy, shaped by multiple relations and reservoirs of knowledge.

Lessons for researchers: How to influence policy (ODI’s RAPID) Develop a detailed understanding of Develop a detailed understanding of –Policymaking processes, –The nature of evidence required, –Other stakeholders involved in policy. Develop an overall strategy for our work Develop an overall strategy for our work –Identify policy windows, –Ensure evidence is credible and practically useful, –Work with policy makers over the longterm.
