As an endeavor towards documenting the information from research and other studies on issues pertaining to poverty alleviation and making it easily accessible to the development professionals, planners and partners, Development Information Resource and Rural Access Project (Nep/03/M04) has developed this Development Support Information System (DSIS). It is expected that DSIS would be useful for assessing data and references while designing development policies and programs, learning from both the best practices and failures.
