About the Effective Development Network

The Effective Development Network is an initiative that supports the identification of research and researchers working on development effectiveness. It brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to advance evidence-informed approaches to sustainable development challenges. The Network’s research identification tool draws on OpenAlex’s open-source catalogue of scholarly outputs, including journal articles, datasets, books, and dissertations.

Our Mission

The tool is supported by researchers at University College Dublin, Queen's University Belfast, and Wageningen University. Please contact us on effectivenessnetwork@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to get involved.
