Consortium

The GSDRC is a consortium of organisations with a blend of expertise in governance, social development, conflict and humanitarian issues. As a team we are uniquely positioned to provide high quality services and broad thematic coverage.

Two partners operate the core services of the resource centre:

  • University of Birmingham, International Development Department

About the core services partners

The International Development Department (IDD) in the School of Government and Society, University of Birmingham was founded in 1964. It is distinguished by its focus on governance and its capacity to bridge the gap between theory and practice in development. IDD has nearly 50 years experience of close working relationships with donors and partner country governments, and proven capacity to translate research results into the policy agenda. Current areas of research include service delivery, statebuilding, security in fragile states, anti-corruption, natural resource governance and aid management. IDD has carried out consultancy work for many donor agencies. Previously, IDD managed the Governance Resource Centre (2001-2005) in collaboration with the Institute of Development Studies.
