ILS Advisory services

Information sharing and dissemination are at the core of virtually every development process. KIT designs and provides advisory services and undertakes research projects to strengthen the role of information management for development.

Our focus is twofold. On the one hand we work with libraries to build their institutional capacity. On the other hand we specialize in integrating ICT into development programmes in various areas of KIT’s expertise, such as health, gender and sustainable economic development.
