DFID is conducting a review of the Governance and Social Development Resource Centre (GSDRC) project as it approaches the end of its current funding phase. The GSDRC is a multi-disciplinary resource centre to help enhance the knowledge and capabilities of DFID's professional advisers and DFID's partners in the international development community.

The review team would greatly appreciate your input to this process. Your feedback is essential to us: we need to know your views on what works, and what doesn't, and what could be improved in future.

All responses will be treated confidentially and all information in the finished report will remain anonymous. We would be grateful for your response by 12 February 2010. So why not take a few minutes to complete it now?
