Development Partnerships/Networks

To contribute to a better understanding of development results and the implementation of the MDGs, the Centre animates the DevCom Network that gathers directors of communication/public affairs from the DAC member countries. It has set up the Emerging Markets Network (EmNet), an initiative dedicated to the private sector that fosters dialogue and analysis on emerging economies and their impact on global economic, social and environmental issues. The Centre also hosts DeFiNe, which is a global network of think tanks and academic establishments (more).
