At a time of rising unemployment, energy and food costs, many families are struggling to heat their homes. But can fuel poverty be tackled without tackling climate change? 

Morten Jerven reflects on what impact the lack of accurate statistics is having on the welfare of citizens in developing countries.

Hon. Mohamed Elmi, Member of Parliament for Tarbaj constituency, Kenya, and Izzy Birch, Technical Adviser, National Drought Management Authority, Kenya, will discuss the challenges of pursuing long-term change within the limits imposed by five-year administrations, as well as the prospects for further consolidation of the reforms under Kenya’s new national and county governments.

In this seminar Gary Forster and Chris Cuninghame will discuss Transaid's road safety and maternal healthcare initiatives in Africa

IDS, Development Initiatives and the APPG on Food and Agriculture for Development host discussion about what the UK can do to tackle the current nutrition crisis.

Following on from The Global Drug and Development Policy Roundup which took place earlier this year, IDS is hosting a meeting of development and drug policy-makers and experts to explore the key issues raised and consider ways in which the international development community can contribute more effectively to tackling illicit drug production, trade and use.

This course is based on the experience of both IDS Climate Change Team, and ICCCAD in Bangladesh in running courses that integrate the understanding of disasters in the context of climate change.

The purpose of this workshop is to share ideas and experiences, learn lessons from past and on-going work and discuss work-in-progress using mixed methods research in the field of poverty and vulnerability.

The course's premise is that an acceleration of undernutrition reduction requires a transformation in the way we think about undernutrition in order to change the ways in which we address it. This 5 day course takes the participant through new ways of thinking about undernutrition and what to do about it.
