Their vision is that knowledge should be generated by sound methodology and in partnership with other development and non-development actors.
The Institute is home to approximately 100 researchers, 70 knowledge services staff, 65 professional staff and about 200 students at any one time. But the IDS community extends far beyond, encompassing an extensive network of over 360 partners, 2,100 alumni and hundreds of former staff across the development community worldwide.
For Transform Nutrition, IDS hosts research fellow, Nick Nisbett, who leads the research on the enabling environment. IDS also leads research communications with Samantha Reddin, coordinating the global research uptake strategy alongside the communication officers based in the four focus countries.
