Product Description

This book is made of very important contributions from a variety of experts and practitioners. It demonstrates the relevance and the paramount importance of knowledge exchange as a two-way process where various stakeholder groups (i.e. knowledge bearers that includes researchers, academics, indigenous communities and also local, national and international institutions) come together and share their ideas and experiences.  The book further asserts that knowledge exchange, not knowledge transfer encourages collaboration between researchers and societies.  It argues that meaningful dialogues between all communities can arise out of exchanging ideas and experiences.
