The Research into Use (RIU) programme has produced a series of short syntheses which bring together key lessons for up-scaling and out-scaling research based on 19 key reviews, summaries and reports detailing DFID natural resources research. Topics include gender issues, effective policy advocacy, capacity development, poverty mapping and managing agricultural research for poverty alleviation.
Each synthesis of a selected topic provides background information and key points, while the lessons learned are illustrated using examples and case studies. These aim to bring the lessons to life, for those involved in establishing an innovations systems approach to agriculture, fisheries and natural resources management. For anyone who wishes to learn more, references and internet links to the source documents are also provided.
