IDRC staff work together with researchers from the developing world to build healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous societies.
This online resource is designed to help journalists connect with these experts, who are based at IDRC's head office in Ottawa, Canada, and at regional offices in Montevideo, Uruguay; Dakar, Senegal; Nairobi, Kenya; Cairo, Egypt; New Delhi, India; and Singapore. IDRC can also help journalists access extensive networks of researchers and decision-makers in the developing world.
