Development Connections serves Christian professionals working in international relief and development organizations, and Christian academics specializing in economic development. We provide links and resources on program design, impact assessment, monitoring and evaluation, and other important aspects of economic development of interest to practitioners and researchers. We also facilitate communication and collaboration between Christian development professionals, Christian NGOs, and individual Christian economists working on economic development. We hope that these Development Connections will enhance the work of all Christians responding to God's call to serve the poor.
