The Role of Public Administration in Building a Harmonious Society
Ahmad, Raza | June 2006
Abstract
The success of knowledge networks depends on their development into a space for innovation, experimentation, and learning. These networks can boost the knowledge base, learning processes, and civil society actors’ capacity to generate and advocate proposals. Development practitioners claim that capacity development, institution building, advocacy, and societal change are unthinkable without considerable investment in improving networking and learning among relevant development actors. This is why development agencies invest in networking among their partners to enable civil society both globally and locally to play a strong role in shaping the ideas and knowledge that determine our future.5 In line with this thrust on networking, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) supported the creation of a regional network focusing on cross-learning and knowledge sharing.
