This issue grew out of the Impact Initiative for International Development Research which seeks to maximise impact and learning from the ESRC-DFID Joint Fund for Poverty Alleviation Research and their Raising Learning Outcomes in Education Systems Research Programme. It was only through the breadth and quality of ESRC-DFID-funded research that we were able to compile such a diverse and valuable set of case studies on research–policy partnerships.
