Research Themes for 2008-2010

It is proposed that the KCP’s three trust funds support principal research themes for in-depth research and analysis during 2008-2010, besides research projects in other areas.

 

The trust fund for Poverty Dynamics and Basic Service Delivery will support continuing and new research in:

• Enhancing Equity and Pro-Poor Growth
• Human Development and Service Delivery
• Development and the Next Generation
• Evaluating Impact
• Aid Effectiveness

The trust fund for Investment Climate and Trade and Integration will support continuing and new research in:

• Growth and Investment Climate
• Finance and Development
• Trade and Development
• International Migration and Development

The trust fund for Global Public Goods  will support new research in:

• Communicable Diseases and Health Externalities
• Climate Change and Environmental Quality 

The choice of subjects for the KCP is influenced by the World Bank’s research agenda as well as by discussions with other members of the global development community, including KCP donors.
