Institute For Development Studies
Introduction
The Institute for Development Studies (IDS) is one of the oldest and best-established research institutes in Africa. Founded in 1965, IDS is a multipurpose and multi-disciplinary institute within the University of Nairobi's College of Humanities and Social Sciences. It focuses on social and economic issues of development in Kenya, the rest of Africa and the world. In addition to initiating its own academic and policy-oriented research, IDS provides research services to government, nongovernmental organisations, and the private sector. IDS builds capacity for the analysis of development issues through its MA and PhD programmes. It uses its seminar series, workshops, and publications to communicate and get feedback on its research results. IDS also encourages intellectual exchange between researchers and scholars and institutions elsewhere by undertaking collaborative research and welcoming research associates.
