Tackling global challenges such as climate change, poverty and injustice requires knowledge sharing, mutual learning and collaboration to inform decision-making that is based on local, national and global participation.

The IDS International Initiatives create spaces for researchers, governments and civil society to learn from each other. By bringing together knowledge from diverse perspectives, the Initiatives are helping to improve understanding of complex issues and support the creation and implementation of new approaches that can tackle long-standing injustices.
