Development Research
Principal Objectives
We want to help increase understanding of those interrelationships that are relevant for development and encourage the rapid integration of new scientific knowledge into development policy and practice.
Research Cooperations
Researchers and practitioners have much to learn from each other. KfW Entwicklungsbank plays an active part in research projects relevant to our work. We pave the way for empirical analysis and contribute with our experience and knowledge.
Publications
Our Development Research Publications offer balanced background analysis on developmental topics, concise summaries of current trends and debates, and strong views from respected development researchers.
Conferences and Lectures
As part of our programme of research cooperation, we hold meetings that bring together researchers and practitioners, facilitating direct interaction with regard to current topics.
The KfW Research Prize
KfW Entwicklungsbank awards a prize to promote excellence in applied development research.
