Knowledge

Knowledge is central to international development, and to sustainable practices and technology. Key issues include:

• Knowledge sharing, which always happens in multiple directions. This is facilitated by open knowledge and good practices in collaboration and participation.
• KM4Dev, a common abbreviation for knowledge sharing in a development context
• Empowerment, which is aided by access to knowledge, and the ability for motivated individuals to explore and learn by themselves.
• Literacy, an extremely valuable step for individuals and communities in gaining access to knowledge.
• Traditional knowledge, including indigenous knowledge
• Education
• Forms of knowledge, including electronic forms (see information technology) and books.
