Research into policy: a literature review
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Rosie RenoufWater & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) is embarking on a new research programme dedicated
to improving urban sanitation in Ghana, Kenya and Bangladesh. The driving aim of the programme is
not only to produce rigorous research, but research that can drive sector change in each of the three
focus countries. For this to be achieved, research must be timely, relevant and communicated in a
manner that is useful to those who are in a position to drive change in urban sanitation policy on all
levels. This paper presents a broad overview of the literature produced on research uptake and the
actions recommended for researchers seeking to ensure that their work makes a sustained impact where
it is most needed. This will inform WSUP’s sector influencing strategies and guide its development of a
research uptake strategy.
