About K4DD

The K4DD programme provides evidence and learning to improve the impact of development and diplomacy policy and programmes.

K4DD is delivered by a consortium of six leading development and diplomacy organisations. It builds on significant experience of delivering similar programmes, including the predecessor, ‘Knowledge, Evidence, and Learning for Development (K4D) Programme’, which ran from 2016 to 2022. 

K4DD is funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and will run until March 2027.
