Scaling-up and communication: guidelines for enhancing the developmental impact of natural resources systems research
2002
This paper is a synthesis of two previous research reports that explored scaling up and communication in natural resources (NR) research. The author describes recent increasing emphasis on these activities in development based NR research. Contextual information is presented on the major shifts that have taken place in recent years in development policy and its influence on NRM research priorities.This digest aims to present the main findings and recommendations of the two DFID commissioned studies, drawing out the features related to natural resources management (NRM). Key considerations in research design that can enhance the uptake and use of research products are highlighted.The Studies highlight the importance of considering scaling-up and communication from the very outset of a research project. Together the Studies provide a set of guidelines for NRM research on actions that must be taken to address these issues throughout the project cycle. [Author]
