About IKM Emergent

The programme, Emergent Issues in Information and Knowledge Management (IKM) and International Development, is based on the premise that the development sector has not fully appreciated the strategic importance of knowledge to its work, and that it has not responded effectively to the practical challenges of organising and using information and knowledge within and between organizations at a time of rapid but uneven ‘informational developments.’

Northern development organizations of all types often lack adequate knowledge of the Southern realities and of the perception of those realities by local populations and by local intellectuals. This is a fundamental issue affecting the potential effectiveness of all development work.

The objective of the programme is to improve development practice by promoting change in the way the development sector approaches the selection, management and use of knowledge in the formation and implementation of its policies and programmes.
