Intro Knowledge Programme

Tags: Worldwide, Knowledge Platform

In 2007 Hivos started to develop a knowledge programme to address some of the complex challenges it faces: how to understand and innovate support for civil society building, how to promote pluralism in times of growing intolerance? The development sector needs new knowledge and, more specifically, appropriate knowledge to tackle specific knowledge gaps. Ad hoc financing of knowledge creation is not enough, so Hivos together with its academic partners, is integrating knowledge on issues imperative to the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) and the development sector at large.
