The nature and complexity of societal problems invoke the need to craft responses, not from an insular and narrow-minded perspective, but from an open-minded perspective that is inclusive of a variety of thoughts and paradigms. This need to recast societal problems outside the traditional discipline boundaries and reach solutions based on a redefined understanding of complex situations saw the emergence of Transdisciplinarity. Transdisciplinarity aims to systematically and holistically focus on problem-solving while drawing on a variety of seemingly disparate disciplines and knowledges. Haverkort and Reijntjes (2006:2) note that Transdisciplinarity is a relatively recent approach (to knowledge generation) having emerged seven centuries later than disciplinarity which, itself, followed the work of the Swiss philosopher and psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980). In this Issue of the African Journal of Governance and Development, it is with brevity that we reflect on Transdisciplinarity.
