To contribute to a better understanding of development results and the implementation of the MDGs, the Centre animates the DevCom Network which gathers directors of communication/public affairs from the 22 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 (more). The Centre also hosts DeFiNe , which is a global network of think tanks and academic establishments.

In preparation for the 2009-10 Global Forum on Development, DeFiNe met to discuss Domestic Resource Moblisation. In times of cognitive crisis, both external resource flows (ODA, FDI) and domestic revenues become less reliable. Hence there is a need to create more pre-dictability in revenue mobilisation and to take a cohesive approach to resource mobilisation both at home and abroad. DeFiNe meeting was devoted to public instruments for DRM, namely Fiscal Policy (Taxation).
