Publications

The vast majority of our work has been for specific clients. Thus, while we have written tens of thousands of pages of reports over the past three and a half decades, these are confidential documents written for specific clients. Therefore, it would not have been ethical to publish these.

However, we have written dozens of training materials over the years, both in English and Spanish. These have been either published or, more often, they have been photocopied for specific trainings.

For more than 25 years, IDEAS published a bi-monthly periodical called Southern Communities. IDEAS also published the Community Economic Reporter for about six years.

For several years, IDEAS published MicroEval: El Boletin de Evaluacion de Impacto e Investigacion del Mercado de Microfinanzas en America Latina.
