Knowledge Brokering for Feminist Futures: A guide to explore more diverse and inclusive knowledge brokering practices

This guide consolidates practical insights, lessons, and methodologies on knowledge brokering in development cooperation. We intend for this guide to be a space for reflecting on practices where power dynamics persist!

Who is Knowledge Brokering for Feminist Futures for?

This guide is intended for a diverse audience, including practitioners, decision-makers and individuals interested in knowledge brokering and feminist approaches. Although the examples and practices of Share-Net members focus mainly on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), the illustrated processes are also applicable to other thematic areas and sectors in development cooperation!

What is the objective of Knowledge Brokering for Feminist Futures?

• To continue fostering conversations around diverse knowledge brokering practices and partnerships among stakeholders from all regions.
• To understand and reflect on how knowledge is brokered, including how it is shared, produced, reflected upon, and synthesised.
• To highlight inclusive spaces that ensure marginalised voices are heard and actively contribute to the knowledge brokering process.

Who created this guide?

This guide is the result of collaborative effort between The Broker and Share-Net Netherlands to identify and address gaps and opportunities in knowledge brokering. 

The development of this guide is the result of active participation and contributions from members of Share-Net International throughout the research process. Input was collected from more than 100 members across 15 different countries.
