Links

Building linkages between policy think tanks and networks from the South and North is a critical component of the work and mandate of IPC.

To promote such contacts, the centre has compiled a working list of institutions with relevant research and programmes dedicated to poverty issues. Links have been divided into the following subcategories:

Research Centres (by country)
Poverty Networks Information Gateways
Other Sites

All research centres were selected for the breadth of information available on their sites and
the leadership they have shown nationally, regionally, and in the world on promoting policy
solutions for poverty.

IPC realizes there are countless other institutions working on poverty issues and that this list is only a partial representation of related sites. As a result, we will be continually updating links to best reflect the pool of available web resources. If you have suggestions for similar sites, please click here to send us your comments.
