The International Library & Information Group (ILIG) and the UK electronic information Group (UKeiG) are pleased to announce a free informal event ‘Partnerships with Global South countries: developing a generic model’ from 6pm on Wednesday 20th October 2021.
CILIP has the potential to play an important role in partnering with Global South countries, multinational agencies and funders in order to:
- improve Global South countries’ information and knowledge infrastructures
- raise awareness of their needs
- learn from their innovations and practice.
The role might be characterised as a catalyst, leveraging (pro bono) the professional expertise of CILIP members to develop and support projects in partnership with funders, multinational agencies and individual countries.
This joint Informal session will facilitate discussion about the concept of a generic model and how it might be developed. It will be led by David Ball; with additional speakers to be announced.
