ESRC and DFID have jointly funded short to medium term poverty focused research since 2005. There have been six calls so far, with 46 projects funded under Phase 1 and 37 projects funded under Phase 2 – www.esrc.ac.uk/funding-and guidance/funding-opportunities/international-funding/esrc-dfid/phase1-awards.aspx.
The scheme has funded a diverse range of high quality work so far but the Independent Review of Phase 1 -(a further group of projects will be funded in 2012). The aim of the joint scheme is to provide a more robust conceptual and empirical basis for international development. It also aims to enhance the quality and impact of social science research which contributes to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the shaping of the post-2015 agenda. Both funders have a strong commitment to commissioning world class research and ensuring that the resulting evidence is useful to stakeholders and policy makers.
