These useful links provided by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) (2006) discuss the role of intermediaries and the issues surrounding them, important when aiming to strengthen development knowledge. The links explore the many aspects of an intermediary from definitions, evidence, concept frameworks, implications on how its role is utilized for development outcomes and discourse of popular conceptions. This is a great starter and introduction to the role actors play in policy while also being a great in depth study into how intermediaries are critical for communication.
