Research Agenda 2014-2017

The Research Agenda sets out the research needs of the Department for the period April 2014 to March 2017. It has been developed to inform planning processes within the Department; inform research stakeholders of the Department’s research priorities; signal to funders and development partners what research areas require investment; and assist the Department to guide resource allocation for research. The priorities will also be used to guide research on PSET undertaken by academics and independent research institutes and organisations. The Research Agenda will also help to optimise the use of research resources by avoiding unnecessary duplication in terms of the same areas being researched many times.
