Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office


The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO, formerly DFID) commissioned the EPPI Centre to conduct systematic reviews and to support research teams elsewhere prepare systematic reviews addressing questions important to FCDO offices. The aim was to embrace all public policy sectors to provide evidence for national governments, international aid organisations, non-governmental organisations, regional and local policy-makers, practitioners, service users and the wider public.
