IDRC on Global Economic Governance 2009-05 Knowledge gained from studies supported by IDRC could help poor countries cope with the current global economic crisis. IDRC on Tobacco Control 2009-05 May 31 is World No Tobacco Day. Read how IDRC-supported research is tackling health, environmental, and economic threats from tobacco production and consumption in developing countries where 70% of the world's smokers live. Open file IDRC on Health 2008-11 Recent events drive the point home: Health knows no borders. But just as the problems flow freely across the globe, knowledge and solutions should too. See how even modest investments can make a real difference in the lives of people in developing countries. Open file IDRC on Democratic Development 2008-06 Helping women in India demand equal rights, studying the role of political parties in the Middle East, and involving Brazilian youth in the democratic process — these are just some examples of how IDRC-sponsored research fosters good governance. Open file IDRC on Private Sector Development 2008-01 Entrepreneurship can promote efficiency, create poverty-reducing jobs, and ease hardship. IDRC has long valued industry, trade, and commerce as engines of economic growth. Open file IDRC on Climate Change Adaptation 2007-11 Climate change is not just an environmental problem: it also threatens development. For this reason IDRC was funding research on human adaptation to climate change and variability long before the term “global warming” began to dominate the world’s headlines. Open file IDRC on Information and Communication Technologies for Development 2007-11 IDRC was one of the earliest development agencies to embrace information and communication technologies (ICTs) as powerful tools for reducing poverty, for combating HIV/AIDS, and for fostering good governance. This brochure describes a small sample of the many ground-breaking ICT projects that IDRC has supported in recent years. Open file IDRC on Equality for Girls and Women 2007-02 Every International Women’s Day, we pause and celebrate the progress already made toward equality and justice for women and girls. The occasion also reminds us that fighting for women’s rights is not a seasonal effort, but is a year-round and long-term challenge. Open file IDRC on Microfinance and Poverty 2006-11 IDRC assumes that people on the ground are the real experts. They understand better than anyone does what needs to happen so that they will be freed from poverty. IDRC’s role is to help local researchers to express these needs — and to find solutions that work. Open file IDRC on Just Societies and Healthy Democracies — Afghanistan 2006-11 Women play a central role in reuniting shattered families and rebuilding fractured communities, often with little official support. Despite national and international agreements guaranteeing equality, many women are unable to exercise their rights and realize their full potential. Such is the case in Afghanistan. Open file |
