Making a Difference Blog Series

IFPRI’s five decades of experience has shown that development policy research has a stronger likelihood of making an impact and meeting real-world needs when it is adapted to local contexts and created with national and local partners. This is why we have spent the past two decades expanding our network of country offices and embedding researchers closer to the communities they serve.

This locally grounded approach, reinforced in the new IFPRI Strategy 2026–2030, aims to strengthen research relevance, policy influence, and capacity sharing through sustained collaboration with governments, research institutions, and development partners around the world.
