    Indigenous and Western knowledge

    Western knowledge is often linked to universality and spatial transferability while indigenous knowledge is considered to be part of a traditional and outdated way of life. Development agencies, The World Bank and Higher Education Institutions alike have sought to reconcile these two apparently discrete forms of knowledge. In recent times the value of indigenous knowledge has come to be recognised in various fields including medicine, agriculture, science and education. Alongside this has been growing recognition that if communities and universities are to engage as co-workers in finding solutions to trans national issues then there has to be meaningful dialogue between the epistemologically different knowledge systems.
