Journal of Development Policy and Practice (JDPP)

The Journal of Development Policy and Practice is an international, peer‑reviewed academic journal published bi‑annually by SAGE Publications on behalf of the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP). Established in 2015, the journal promotes rigorous, interdisciplinary scholarship and critical engagement on the processes of development policy formulation, implementation, evaluation, and outcomes in diverse global contexts. Its mission is to bridge the gap between academic research and practical policy application, encouraging contributions from scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and civil society voices alike. The journal publishes original research articles, policy analyses, case studies, conceptual essays, and book reviews addressing thematic areas such as governance, public policy design and execution, socio‑economic development challenges, equity and inclusion, institutional reforms, and experiential learning from policy practice. Emphasizing a blend of theory and practice, JDP/P fosters critical discourse on how development policies affect societies and communities, particularly in emerging and developing nations. As part of its commitment to high editorial standards, the journal operates a double‑blind peer review process reflecting diverse disciplinary perspectives that include economics, political science, public administration, sociology, and development studies. With its global editorial board and collaborative ethos, the journal serves as a key platform for advancing evidence‑based policy insights that contribute to sustainable and equitable development.
