From Monday June 30th to July 3rd 2014, I was a guest of the University of Sheffield, Sheffield in the UK, as part of the #ID100 Project: Identifying critical questions for development research& policy. Participants who are experts in International development were invited to identify and agree on the most important questions in International Development (ID). With the deadline of the MDGs fast approaching, these questions will define how the post-2015 agenda can be addressed in a realistic and evidenced way.
I am pleased to share that the working paper has been published. See information bellow from SIID

How can research best contribute to a new global agenda for international development? SIID has just published the results of a global consultative exercise called ID100, which sought to identify 100 key questions for development policy and research. These 100 questions, published in an open access working paper with the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), were gathered and selected via a broad participatory consultative exercise involving more than 700 people from 34 countries.
They include a combination of long-standing problems as well as new challenges emerging from recent socio-political and environmental changes. Well-established concerns about the rights of women, and of vulnerable groups such as poor workers, small-scale farmers, people with disabilities, children and ethnic minorities feature alongside emerging issues, including the role of business in protecting human rights, and information and communication technologies as tools for empowerment and the value of art in development
