CIDT's multi-disciplinary team works across four practice areas:
A key principle of Aid Effectiveness, defining and measuring results is also integral to donor alignment, harmonisation, accountability and country ownership (Paris Declaration 2005; Accra Agenda for Action 2008).
A quarter of the world's poor and 90% of the poorest of the poor depend substantially on forests for their livelihoods (UN Forum on Forests 2005). Climate change will have an unprecedented impact on these vulnerable communities and threatens to reverse decades of progress in this area (UN Human Development Report 2010).
Human development is about creating an environment in which people can fulfil their potential and lead productive, creative lives in support of their needs and interests. It is essentially about expansion of choice and the building of human capabilities.
Good governance has come to be seen as a cross-cutting issue, which will be fundamental to the success of the climate change, global security and Public Financial Management agendas. Working with civil society organisations and communities themselves is a crucial aspect of the good governance approach.
