Knowledge for development is knowledge that everyone in all
communities, can share their ways of thinking about their worlds.
We all have multiple ways of thinking, which give us entry into our
personal worlds, that is, our physical, socioeconomic, ethical, creative, and empathetic worlds. Knowledge for development partnerships allows us to celebrate our diversity together, as individuals and as communities, toward a better world for all of us.
