| RDI Publications |
 |
| |
| One of the functions of RDI is to disseminate research findings and applied research practices to rural communities, students and practitioners.
Print and electronic versions of published research reports, working documents, project reports and tools for communities.
In 2006, RDI launched an online, open access Journal
of Rural and Community Development (JRCD). The purpose is to provide
a venue through which academics can publish findings in the field of
development studies in either or both rural and community contexts.
RDI's publications have been organized
comprehensively by research interests 2000-2010 as seen below or by year
1990-2010.
