The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is an independent think tank on international development and humanitarian issues, founded in 1960. Based in London, its mission is "to inspire and inform policy and practice which lead to the reduction of poverty, the alleviation of suffering and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in developing countries." It does this by "locking together high-quality applied research, practical policy advice, and policy-focused dissemination and debate." ==History== In 1960 ODI began in small premises in Regent's Park, central London and operated a library devoted to international development issues as well as performing consultancy work and contracts with the Department for International Development (then known as the Overseas Development Agency) of the UK government. Since then it has moved several times and is currently on Blackfriars Road. Since 2004 it has had a Partnership Programme Arrangement with the UK's Department for International Development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Partnership Program Arrangement (PPA) between UK Department for International Development (DFID) and Overseas Development Institute (ODI) 2008-2001 )〕 In July 2007, ODI was named 'Think Tank of the Year 2007' by ''Public Affairs News'' magazine.〔(publicaffairsnews.com )〕 It was named 'Think-tank to Watch' in the ''Prospect'' 'Think-tank of the Year' awards in 2005.
