dc.description.abstractThis article reflects critically on forms of openness and participation emerging from a collaborative network (AfricaAdapt) that uses information technologies for knowledge sharing on topics of climate change and international development. It explores how multiple interpretations of concepts such as “openness” and “participation” coalesce within a North-South network such as AfricaAdapt. It examines how ways of working are established and interpreted, and how constructions of meaning and purpose are influenced. Attention is given to the powerful development paradigm, and how differently situated partners understand participation and openness, as well as the ways certain forms of engagement are privileged over others.en
