By Elvio Segovia 19/08/2014

This blog is part of a showcase of exhibits from Latin American think tanks participating in the Think Tank Initiative’s Policy Engagement and Communications (PEC) programme. You may view other entries on the Latin America PEC Showcase Overview Page. 

This is a 6 minutes video that highlights the change in the organizational culture brought about by the PEC programme. It emphasizes the extent to which communication and incidence have become embedded in the work of ID.

About Us

Research to Action (R2A) is a website catering for the strategic and practical needs of people trying to improve the uptake of development research, in particular those funded by DFID.

We have structured the site and populated it with material that we think will be immediately useful to this audience, but also to development researchers in general who would like to be more strategic and effective in their communications.

R2A is produced by a small editorial team, led by CommsConsult. We welcome suggestions for and contributions to the site.
