IPC-IG is organizing an online catalogue of Poverty Networks, which are web-based platforms that share development-related information. The aim of this directory is to facilitate the access to development knowledge across our network in 189 countries and help foster dialogue between researchers, policymakers, civil society and multilateral organizations. Below you will find information on IPC-IG collaborating networks. They were sorted into 14 different categories according to their focus area.
The content of these websites do not necessarily represent the views of the IPC-IG, IPEA or the United Nations Development Programme (or its Administrators, Directors, or the countries they represent).
