ID21 (or Information for Development in the 21st Century) is a new Development Research reporting service sponsored by the UK Department for International Development. The goal of ID21 is to link development research and researchers directly to policymakers and development practitioners around the world. The core of the site is a searchable online collection of one-page digests "of the latest social and economic research studies across 30 key topic fields." Additional resources include summaries of current research organized by topical themes, developmental news updates, and a collection of related links. To accommodate users with slow Internet access or those who prefer e-mail, a new email newsletter titled ID21NEWS has also been created. ID21NEWS will provide short summaries of the latest updates to the site, with links to the full text.
