abstract |
North–South municipal partnerships that are based on practitioner-to-practitioner
collaboration are explicitly concerned with joint learning and knowledge production
for more effective practice. Such partnerships assume a principle of mutuality – northern
and southern partners are both assumed to gain from them, whether in similar or different
ways. Research suggests that the processes of learning and knowledge production in
North–South municipal partnerships pose challenges to mutuality both as a value and
as an incentive. However, research has frequently focused on the challenges of learning
by the southern partner(s) and, while recognising its importance, less analysis or
reflection has been done on northern learning. However, if there are to be effective
and sustainable partnerships, the investigation and promotion of northern learning
is also required, as well as greater understanding of the action learning spaces in
which it occurs. This article examines two partnerships in UK and Uganda, and the
processes of learning and related institutional development for the northern partners.
The article considers how peer exchange and learning can extend beyond the initial
boundaries of cooperation, and suggests how research on mutuality and social learning
can be further progressed from an institutional standpoint. |
