Knowledge Co-production

Knowledge co-production is a collaborative process where researchers, experts, and community members work together to generate new understanding or solutions for real-world issues. Instead of experts solely producing knowledge, this approach values diverse experiences and insights, ensuring the results are relevant and applicable. It combines scientific methods with local or practical knowledge, fostering shared ownership of outcomes. This process enhances the relevance, credibility, and impact of the knowledge produced, making it more likely to be used effectively in policy, practice, or community decisions.
