Annual Report 2012/13: sharing learning for change

Learning is at the heart of IIED’s work: we place value on building our knowledge, creating the space to test out in practice what we have learnt and finding ways to bring people together to share ideas and experiences. This year's report takes stock of what we did in 2012-13, with a focus on the value of shared learning and the many benefits it brings.
