Value Adding to Information

The GDRC regularly receives a number of queries via email from users who are looking for specific information. In order to facilitate a systematic approach to such users, an online Help Desk was set up. Thematic and strategic help will be provided, where possible and available, within the 15 programmes of GDRC.

Disclaimer: The GDRC Help Desk was set up to assist users with a context-specific query on the themes of its 15 programmes. Every effort is being made to ensure that all queries are responded to. However, Help Desk responses (such as sharing appropriate resources, providing advice/suggestions, discussing programme strategy, or preparing/reviewing documents) are done in good faith, and GDRC cannot be held responsible for any consequences of such responses.
