FACTS Honorary Board
Development, health, humanitarian action, education, environment - so many themes which, without being exhaustive, mobilize the intervention of numerous actors, NGO, governmental and multilateral agencies, academic institutions and consultancies world-wide.
From all these activities emerge knowledge, know‑how, results from experiments and valuable problem solving, which are not adequately disseminated and shared between actors in the field. The FACTS initiative, launched by Professor Kourilsky, aims to enhance, capitalise and disseminate the knowledge resources produced by field actions and foster their take up by all in routine actions.
