Boiling Point 51: Sharing information and communicating knowledge – January 2006

Boiling Point
Front cover of Boiling Point issue 51
Issue 51 (2006) Sharing information and communicating knowledge

[top] [end]Overview

This edition moves on from the theme of scaling up to one component of it that is often overlooked during the life of a project. If we know something, how do we share it? A colleague once said that ‘knowledge is power, so people often keep knowledge because giving it away makes them less powerful’ – an interesting point. As the world of household energy becomes more commercialised, will it be driven solely by profit, or by sharing knowledge for the common good; can the two approaches live side by side? Somewhere the line between intellectual property rights and the common good must be drawn. We are very pleased that our authors, in this, and previous editions, have chosen to share their knowledge so that our aim to reduce poverty can be advanced through sharing this vital resource.
