The Access to Research for Development and Innovation (aRDi) program

The Access to Research for Development and Innovation (aRDi) program is coordinated by the World Intellectual Property Organization together with its partners in the publishing industry with the aim to increase the availability of scientific and technical information in developing countries. By improving access to scholarly literature from diverse fields of science and technology, the aRDi program seeks to:

* reinforce the capacity of developing countries to participate in the global knowledge economy; and
* support researchers in developing countries in creating and developing new solutions to technical challenges faced on a local and global level.

Currently, 12 publishers provide access to over 50 journals for 107 developing countries through the aRDi program
