Homepage 2/2: … NCCR North-South has three main objectives:
1) Capacity-building:
To strengthen development-oriented research capacities in the South and the North. In Pakistan, focus is on establishing research partnerships between SDPI and universities for Master and PhD students.
2) Research:
To undertake theory-led, empirical research on issues relevant to development. In Pakistan, research concentrates on the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and focuses on four themes:
- – Livelihoods, forests and power relations
- – From vulnerability to resilience: gender, migration and social capital
- – Development disparities on natural resource management
- – Development policies and livelihood realities
3) Policy dialogue:
To interact with policy makers and involved stakeholders on researched development issues. The Pakistan Research Group interacts with civil society, state agencies and donors.
