Déscription
ODI is Britain's leading independent think-tank on international development and humanitarian issues. ODI's mission is to inspire and inform policy and practice which lead to the reduction of poverty, the alleviation of suffering and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in developing countries. ODI does this by locking together high-quality applied research, practical policy advice, and policy-focused dissemination and debate. ODI works with partners in the public and private sectors, in both developing and developed countries.
Projets

- Pro-poor Livestock Policy Research: A collaborative project with ILRI to to identify and institutionalise innovative research and development mechanisms and approaches that lead to pro-poor policy outcomes;

2. Water Policy Programme (WPP): Established in 2001, the WPP’s mission is to improve poverty reduction and social development through better water sector policy, programmes and projects. Among the projects carried out within this programme are the following:
- SecureWater: Building sustainable livelihoods for the poor into demand responsive approaches;
- Sustainable Livelihoods in Southern Africa - Institutions, Governance and Policy Processes, Regional Water theme lead in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique.
3. ODI Forest Policy and Environment Programme (FPEP): FPEP seeks to inform the processes of policy change in tropical forestry in ways which improve the livelihoods and well-being of the forest-dependent poor, whilst also securing the long-term future of forest resources. Among the projects carried out within this programme are the following:
- Action Research on the Poverty Impacts of Participatory Forest Management (ARPIP): The overall objective of the proposed action research is to make participatory forest management (PFM) approaches more “pro-poor”;
- Governance and Poverty Impacts of the Illegal Timber Trade in Central America;
- Wild Meat, Livelihoods Security and Conservation in the Tropics: This project is funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation, and will research the human and social dimensions of hunting for consumptive use in tropical forests, including bushmeat and the bushmeat trade;
- Sustainable Commercialisation of Non-Timber Forest Products in Highland and Lowland Forest in Mexico and Bolivia.
4. Rural Policy and Governance Group (RPGG) - Pro-Poor Growth and Livelihoods Security: RPGG's work on economic growth compares the growth which can be achieved in different natural resource-based sectors, including tourism. Among the projects carried out within this programme are the following:
- Productive Strategies and Empowerment of Poor Rural Families to Participate Successfully in Global Markets;
- Livelihood Options;
- Ghana Northern Regional Growth Study;
- Linkages between Social Protection and Agricultural Growth.
5. Rural Policy and Governance Group (RPGG) - Natural Resources and Sustainable Development: The concern with economic growth needs balancing with environmental sustainability. The group researches the policy implications of achieving such balances through on-farm bio-diversity, the regulation of intellectual property rights, community forestry and wildlife management. Among the projects carried out within this programme are the following:
- Future Agricultures Consortium;
- Future of small farms;
- Options for Supporting On-farm Conservation in Eastern and Southern Africa;
- Human and Social Capital in the Diffusion of Low External Input Agriculture.
6. Rural Policy and Governance Group (RPGG)- Pro-Poor Tourism: ODI’s work in tourism promotes an approach that puts poverty at the heart of the tourism debate by focusing on how tourism can enhance the livelihoods of the poor. This approach seeks to apply the principles of 'pro-poor growth' to the tourism sector. Among the projects carried out within this programme are the following:
- Stimulating pro-poor linkages between the tourism industry and local people in the Dominican Republic and the wider Caribbean;
- Pro-Poor Tourism Pilots in Southern Africa;
