Eldis for Development Research

By Polly Geater, on 1 April 2011

WheatIf you haven’t already seen Eldis, it’s a very useful website for information about developing countries, development policy, practice and research.  There are detailed country profiles to view and subject-focused resource guides to download on topics such as climate change and aid. It’s maintained at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Sussex, Brighton.  You can set up newsfeeds from the site and subscribe to regular email updates.
