How does it do that? The KH identifies knowledge problems, particularly those related to the Oxfam Global Framework, and proposes knowledge initiatives that are: relevant to multiple programs, engaging and collaborative, supportive of country priorities and results-focused. These initiatives build on what exists (within Oxfam and beyond) and create new knowledge where needed. -1-
