As the development pact shifts, can open research help countries to unlock innovation and sustainable growth? – INASP Blog

"A consensus about the future shape of development cooperation is emerging which places genuine systems strengthening at the heart, underpinned by evidence and respectful partnership. There’s a critical infrastructure that these priorities depend on to realise the greatest impact: an open research system.

You can’t build stronger systems, you can’t generate and deploy the best evidence, and you can’t foster the partnerships to do that, when knowledge is locked behind paywalls, data can’t be shared, and partners aren’t working from the same foundations. Each of these three priorities, systems, evidence and partnerships, requires an open research system."
