Behaviour Change Knowledge Centre
The Behaviour Change Knowledge Centre
The Behaviour Change Knowledge Centre is a virtual platform on which the body of knowledge on behaviour change for corruption control, including explainers, working papers, newsletters, video skits and blog posts, is curated. These are products from research and reviews by NISER authors, implemented through a MacArthur Foundation Grant Project.
The knowledge content of the BCKC is rooted in interdisciplinary collaborations from the fields of public policy, political science, law, human geography, economics, technology management, statistics, and psychology.
