About
International cooperation is in need of more knowledge to make a difference. To tackle complex problems such as the rise of fundamentalist movements and to innovate the sector needs to invest in the development, deepening, dissemination and application of knowledge.

To achieve its goals Hivos works closely with CSOs and academic centres worldwide.
