Series
The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is an independent think tank that dedicates itself to reducing poverty, alleviating suffering, and establishing sustainable livelihoods in developing countries. It contributes to these development and humanitarian goals by linking together applied research, practical policy advice, and policy-focused information dissemination and debate on a variety of subjects. More specifically, the HPG Working Papers Series provides case studies and background notes that highlight key aspects of ODI's broader research. The series covers topics such as land rights, donorship accountability, livelihood assessments, remittances and humanitarian action and security.
