Research is our passion. We fight for better links between the social and economic sciences and development practice. Our research activities on development and transition are a reflection of that basic concern.

If you entrust us with a research mandate, we can assure you of delivery to your standards and schedules. Beyond our core competences in development economics we can mobilise further expertise in related fields. Our experience in establishing project teams with external experts adds value to the service we offer our clients. Our research methodology mainly draws on:

(1) reviews of existing relevant studies;

(2) primary, field-based research;

(3) our own experience in international cooperation.

Some of our research activities are based on a client's mandate, others originate from our own initiative to cover crucial aspects of North-South relations.
