Abstract

This paper introduces some of the common demands and accountability relationships placed on policy-relevant research organisations, such as university research centres, think tanks, human rights organizations and others. The project explored policy communities working in the fields of agricultural science and governance in three countries: India, the Philippines, and Kenya. It questions and explores who generates information used for policy decision-making in developing countries, what demands are made on them, and by which stakeholders.
