Sida and Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs launch shared database for researchers and research managers

08 November 2010

Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs have developed a shared database called Researchers for Development Analysis (REDA). The objective with the database is to strengthen the role of research in Swedish development cooperation, by increasing the accessibility to existing experts in all academic disciplines for Sida and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

Researchers and research managers that register in the database will be considered for peer-review processes, commissioned tasks and research, evaluations or direct consultations.

Sida and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs encourage a broad spectrum of researchers and research managers to register. Researchers that are interested in contributing to strengthening the role of research in Swedish development cooperation are encouraged to register regardless of academic discipline or focus area of research.
