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, building on significant experience of delivering similar programmes, including the predecessor, ‘Knowledge, Evidence, and Learning for Development (K4D) Programme’, which ran from 2016 to 2022. 

K4D assisted the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and other UK government departments and partners to be innovative and responsive to rapidly changing and complex development challenges.

K4DD is a 3.5-year FCDO funded programme.
