CDKN coordinates the supply of research and policy information from thinktanks, NGOs and universities to governments and civil society organisations in some 60 developing countries. It only acts on requests from nations, and is able to tailor research to countries’ demands. ). <ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/climate-and-development-knowledge-network-dfid-pwc New climate network to help developing countries], Vincent Bevins, ‘’The Guardian’’, 12 March 2010</ref>One of the 200 or so projects it has already committed funds to is an initiative to help the Caribbean island of Anguilla increase the amount of energy it produces from renewable sources. CDKN contracted Castalia Strategic Advisors to help amend the island’s electricity legislation so that it could integrate renewable energy technologies into its grid. The overall aim is to decrease the island’s dependence on costly diesel oil and enhance environmental sustainability. <ref>[http://news.caribseek.com/index.php/caribbean/anguilla-news/item/7183-soaring-energy-prices-push-anguilla-toward-renewables Soaring Energy Prices Push Anguilla Towards Renewables], Desmond Brown, ‘’Caribseek News’’, 26 March 2012</ref>
