This book is a critical guide to conducting investigations under time- and resource-pressured conditions, equipping readers with the key skills and approaches for research designed to influence or inform development policies. Unlike a simple ′how to′ guide, Research Skills for Policy and Development also provides a critique of various methods and situates these approaches within ′real life′ organisational settings, enabling those working in or studying development to locate, evaluate and use relevant information quickly but rigorously.
The successor to Finding Out Fast (SAGE, 1998) it reflects the changes in development management theories and practice over the last seven years, and includes new material and advice on critical use of the web as a resource and research tool. It is essential reading for development managers in NGOs and public sector agencies as well as students of development management and development studies more generally.
