Like a Bridge over Troubled Waters

Dialogues of policy, practitioner and academic knowledges by Wenny Ho

In the Think Piece LIKE A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS: Dialogues of policy, practitioner and academic knowledges the author Wenny Ho deals with Cross-domain Knowledge Integration (KI) in International Development Cooperation (IDC). KI is understood as processes of knowledge co-creation linking domains particularly those of policy-making, science and practitioners.

This research paper is a Hivos - IKM Emergent initiative and builds on pointers that emerged from a number of earlier workshops, but is mainly based on a literature review of different theoretical streams. Its focus is to tease out elements and principles that determine effective knowledge creation processes, especially in The Netherlands.

The research publication will be available from this website as of mid-January. Below you will find a link to the executive summary.
