The Development Research Institute (DRI) is devoted to rigorous, scholarly research on the economic development and growth of poor countries. An independent and non-partisan organization, DRI builds upon a strong foundation of academic research comparing aid agency practices and surveying the thinking behind aid projects. DRI is engaged in a range of activities to hold aid agencies accountable, including conferences, op-eds, media appearances and our upcoming blog, Aid Watch.
Through our work, we seek to expand the number and diversity of serious commentators on the state of foreign aid and development. Our ultimate goal, however, is to have a positive impact on the lives of the poor, who deserve the benefit of high-quality, clear-eyed, hard-headed economic research applied to the problems of world poverty.
