Abstract

This article proposes a knowledge making research agenda for co-creation of sustainable energy transitions and proposes the deconstruction-reconstruction knowledge making framework for social learning among stakeholders. The theoretical framework is operationalized through the knowledge architecture designed to facilitate a multi-stakeholder sustainable energy transition project underway in Sierra Leone. Analysis of the results indicate that an embedded knowledge architecture can lower epistemological and methodological barriers to co-creation and enhance adaptive management of emergent knowledge and conflicts.

This research is part of the Energy and Economic Growth (EGG) Programme.
