Organization

In our effort to change the way the world thinks about, teaches about and does international development, IDN’s mission is to:    
  • Promote research that is designed to improve the lives of those living in poverty
  • Foster related initiatives that will build capacity in developing countries
  • Develop scholarship on and teaching about poverty and development in ways that emphasize local understandings of both problems and solutions
  • Work toward re-imagining and then advocating implementation of development practice in ways that have not yet been anticipated
  • Nurture effective and just institutions and thriving civic cultures
