The UK Collaborative on Development Research (UKCDR) is an organisation working with UK government departments and research funders with an interest in international development. At UKCDR, we believe in accelerating global development through the power of research and knowledge.For over a decade, we have brought UK research funders together to discuss priorities and coordinate efforts to garner maximum impact. UKCDR’s Strategy for the period of 2022 – 2025 stands on three pillars: - Mapping, analysis and foresight; - Convening for joint action; and - Sharing information and best practice. Our core contributing funders are: - Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO); - Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT); - Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC); - UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and - Wellcome.
