SUPPORT TO OPEN: WITH YOUR HELP, OUR RESOURCES CAN GO FURTHER

Practical Action Publishing's Open Access opportunities


Practical Action Publishing puts transformative knowledge into the hands of people who need it most. With Open Access, everyone benefits – especially the change-makers in local communities who need access to relevant solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. Open Access resources allow us to share what works with others, so many more people can change their worlds.
