CDKN's  Masters Research Award aims to assist early career researchers on climate change and development issues in learning new skills and tapping into practitioner networks, and in particular to enable masters students to build substantively on the opportunities provided by the Action Lab (April 2011).  Two writing workshops were held in September 2011 to support the students in producing research and policy briefing papers.

Workshop 1 – How to write a policy briefing paper & a blog

This was an interactive session on the research-policy interface, where workshop participants were taught how to identify their target audience and develop a communications strategy. There was also a short session on writing blogs.
