Reviews

This fascinating collection breaks important new ground with respect to our understanding of how community-based research can change lives for the better. The productive collaborations of civil society organizations across North and South described in these outstanding essays in fact redefine our understanding of the power of applied research in a developing world context. --Ted Hewitt, President, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Rigorous evidence-based analysis is essential to civil society organizations' programming and policy in global development cooperation. This collection effectively documents how these organizations work and collaborate to acquire and share knowledge, and suggests ways to improve their ability to access and build knowledge to address contemporary development challenges. It is a timely publication for Canadian civil society, as our sector embarks on a new joint project with Canadian researchers to test and document best practices in collaboration between academics and practitioners of international development. --Julia S�nchez, President-CEO, Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC) (05/23/2017) Civil society is site, mode and actor in knowledge production, mobilization and dissemination. This book demonstrates the modalities of the same through a series of studies and articles. For civil society practitioners and scholars engaged in inclusive development, this book offers practical insights.' --Dr Rajesh Tandon, Founder-President, PRIA, New Delhi, and UNESCO Co-Chair in Community-based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education
