This report explores the emergence of a “new generation” of intermediaries in the development sector. It captures the first steps towards greater conceptual understanding of the role of intermediaries in development contexts. It identifies how intermediaries add value at different stages of the information supply chain; the common challenges that intermediaries face and the strategies for addressing them. Finally it looks to the future and outlines ideas for future work to strengthen the work of intermediaries.

This report emerged from a meeting convened by the Strategic Learning Initiative (SLI) of the Institute of Development Studies, which brought together information and knowledge intermediaries from 10 countries working to increase access to research in development contexts by providing portals, gateways and reporting services.

The report is intended for those who have an interest in the role of information and communication – particularly of research – in generating better development outcomes.
