Knowledge Sharing

Knowledge sharing is a big part of what we do at the ICT-KM Program. Just take a peek at some of the work we’ve being doing since we got started, and you’ll see that we’ve been promoting Knowledge Sharing, or KS as we like to call it, since day one. Although many people have eagerly embraced what we’ve had to offer, others have taken a little longer to warm to KS.

Last October 29, the CGX 2.0 team (Tania, Michael and myself) attended “Knowledge Sharing: Getting Together to Do It Better“, at IDLO Headquarters in Rome. The event was jointly organized by the KM4Dev Rome chapter and the Rome-based organizations that had already collaborated for the ShareFair in January 2009.

When we began our blog series on Social Medial Tools two months ago, we had no idea how successful it would be. Feedback from readers has been positive and encouraging, so much so that Meena Arivananthan (who has written the series with input from Antonella Pastore and Simone Staiger-Rivas) finished the tenth post on these tools a few days ago. And there’s no stopping her.
For easy reference, we have assembled the various links to these mini tutorials below, so you can now tell at a glance where to get help on newsfeeds, wikis, microblogging, and much, much more:

Our work in Knowledge Sharing is featured in this month’s Making a difference edition.
Thanks to IFAD colleagues for making our work known!
