The British Library of Development Studies (BLDS) has been developing an information capability programme in collaboration with partners within a developing country context. The target audience are information intermediaries including librarians, researchers, and development NGOs.
The programme includes the co-development of a scalable, enquiry-based information capability programme, a monitoring and evaluation toolkit to measure the impact of information capability interventions, and the convening of regional workshops to share best practice approaches to stimulating demand for research knowledge.
The Information Capability programme is part of the DFID-funded Mobilising Knowledge for Development (MK4D) project.
