{"product_id":"9789460220531","title":"Capacity-Building for Knowledge Generation: Experiences in the Context of Health and Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eCapacity-building is key to sustainable development efforts and over the past decades has also enjoyed considerable attention in the field of health and development. However, perspectives on what capacity-building (or capacity development) means, what it intends to achieve and which strategies are most effective differ, depending on the context and the perspectives of a variety of stakeholders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contributes to conceptual reflection by sharing experiences regarding a range of capacity development approaches in different contexts that have in common that they are situated outside formal lecture hall settings and intend to contribute to knowledge generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCapacity-Building for Knowledge Generation: Experiences in the Context of Health and Development\u003c\/i\u003e, professionals and scholars reflect on different strategies for capacity-building, ranging from empowerment, writeshops and strengthening of research capacity to stakeholder analysis, knowledge management and mind mapping. In addition, they present definitions and a framework for interpreting the various capacity-building related concepts and experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains seven chapters, each of which presents one or more cases of action learning or capacity development. These cases have engaged the research and non-governmental communities in diverse settings, mostly in Africa. All aim to strengthen intellectual engagement and the culture of enquiry, as part of a “knowledge translation” process. This means that not only knowledge institutes and researchers participated but also the problem owners, policymakers, practitioners, advocates and other end-users of research. This book will cater to the demand for knowledge and ideas among these same groups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KIT (Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022756004080,"sku":"9789460220531","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789460220531_p0.jpg?v=1763676378","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789460220531","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
