Call for Papers: Nordic Conference for Development Research
The role of knowledge production in and for development has been under
increasing scrutiny. The questions such as “does development aid
really work?” or “is there value-for the money?” are continuously
posed by donors as well as politicians and general public. The
pressures for showing results, outcomes and impacts have grown under
the trends such as result-based management and evidence-based decision
making.
