Abstract
Changing perceptions of the importance of trees and forests in the developing world are, in turn, stimulating increased activity in forest research. Within this context, the role of the International Development Research Center (IDRC) in supporting such research over nearly two decades is described. IDRC's approach is quite different from that of most donor agencies. Its philosophy is based on two over-riding concepts; first, that the research it supports should benefit the poor people of the world; and. second, that the research should be planned and carried out by scientists of the developing countries. Drawing on past experience, alternative strategies for future support are discussed.
