<p>Version 2 of Agenda Knowledge for Development (18 January 2017) is now available. </p>
<p>Agenda Knowledge for Development, with its 13 Knowledge Development Goals, is designed to complement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing an integrated approach to knowledge-related challenges that directly influence the achievement of the SDGs. It presents a vision of the societal and economic value of knowledge in which the transformational power of knowledge can be harnessed for the development of inclusive, pluralistic knowledge societies. We consider that knowledge is indispensable to individuals, communities, enterprises, governments and the global community, and is thus an intrinsic part of sustainable development.</p>
<p><br/> The Agenda has been developed by an international coalition of civil society organisations, enterprises and academics, initiated and led by Knowledge Management Austria, which have developed a common vision on how knowledge can contribute to and underpin the ambitions of the SDGs. This current version is work in progress. It was initially based on 50 statements, written by individuals with different societal and regional backgrounds. They have demonstrated the diversity of aspects involved. Any reader of this 2nd edition is invited to contribute by additional statements and comments. Any reflected step forward is expected to improve the design of this Agenda.</p> Call for Papers KM4D Journal issue September 2017: 'Communities of Practice in development: a relic of the past or sign of the future?'tag:www.km4dev.org,2016-12-23:2672907:Topic:1029392016-12-23T11:29:48.720ZLucie Lamoureuxhttp://www.km4dev.org/profile/LucieLamoureux

<p><b>Important:</b> <i>For those who decide to submit an abstract, please note the various deadlines in the timetable at the end of this message</i>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Background information and call for papers</b></p>
<p>The Knowledge Management for Development Journal (KM4D Journal) is a peer-reviewed community-based journal on knowledge management for development – for and by development practitioners, researchers and policymakers. The journal is closely related to the KM4Dev community of practice ([<a href="http://www.km4dev.org" target="_blank">www.km4dev.org</a>]).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Volume 13, No. 2 is scheduled to be published in September 2017</strong>. Lucie Lamoureux and Riff Fullan are the Senior KM4D Journal Editors for this issue. Guest editors include: Adrian Bannister (IDS), Charles Dhewa (Knowledge Transfer Africa), Ewen Le Borgne (ILRI) and Nancy White (Full Circle Associates).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Communities of Practice</b></p>
<p>Communities of Practice, or CoPs, have been recognised as having a particularly high potential when it comes to supporting effective knowledge sharing and learning. They have been described as being akin to communities in towns or cities, but distinguished by their membership being composed of people with shared engagement and interest in a particular domain of knowledge. Communication and sharing of resources often takes place both virtually and face-to-face within CoPs, and they can be widely geographically dispersed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CoPs have been described as living knowledge repositories, having a high degree of dynamism and representing state-of-the-art thinking in particular domains by virtue of the command their members (and their respective networks) have of a field of expertise. At the same time, it has been recognized that CoPs cannot be made to order but must be nurtured and come into being in a somewhat organic way, evolving through the interactions and motivations of their members.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the development context, CoPs have been a topic of admiration and discussion from the beginning of knowledge management (KM)-related thinking in the development world in the mid-to-late 1990s, with extensive implementation by development actors during the ‘noughties’ (ie. 2000-2010). But since then, they have received much less attention as a topic of discussion or explicit mechanism for knowledge sharing. Are CoPs a thing of the past?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>This issue of the KM4D Journal</b></p>
<p>The topic of CoPs is not only worthy of some reflection in itself, but it is a particularly interesting one for the KM4D Journal as the last issue devoted to CoPs was in fact the very first issue of the Journal published in 2005. The title of that first issue was ‘Supporting Communities in Development’. As the Journal itself grew directly out of the global KM4Dev CoP (which began around the year 2000, so was about 5 years old when the inaugural KM4D Journal came out), it is natural that the topic of CoPs would be on the table for its first issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, 10+ years later, the topic of CoPs in development seems to be stirring again after some years of dormancy. The time is right to ask some penetrating questions – and perhaps point to some answers – about the real and potential benefits of CoPs, and about what those in the development community might do to harness such benefits (or perhaps find other routes to enhancing learning and knowledge sharing in their work).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, this KM4D Journal issue on revisiting CoPs, would like to explore such issues as the following:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>· Has knowledge sharing in CoPs led to more learning, to capacity development? To changes in the way we do things individually, as organisations, in networks and communities?</p>
<p>· Do CoPs contribute (or have they contributed) to sustainable development in any way?</p>
<p>· Are there new conceptual ideas or models that can be shared, either about understanding CoPs, or delivering on the promise of them? Any effective funding or incentive models for CoPs?</p>
<p>· Have some long-standing CoPs evolved in significant ways and what is their evolution telling us about the relevance of CoPs in current global development?</p>
<p>· Is there any solid operational evidence/cases/stories of CoP success, or alternatively from partial successes or failures from which we can learn (especially how these CoPs are animated/facilitated)?</p>
<p>· Can we point to innovative learning or training curricula around CoPs?</p>
<p>· Has the idea of CoPs as a conceptual framework been superseded by others?</p>
<p>· How has the social media explosion impacted CoPs and how has the balance between physical and virtual community building been affected with various competing “spaces”?</p>
<p>· Is there a potential for CoPs to contribute to furthering collective goals and holistic approaches, particularly those such as the Sustainable Development Goals associated with Agenda 2030, and if so to what degree and in which ways?</p>
<p> </p>

<p>This Special Issue on disability inclusive development will be published in September 2016. The Guest Editors particularly encourage submissions from researchers, practitioners, policymakers and activists from the Global South. They also encourage submissions from all disciplines, as long as they focus on the role of knowledge or knowledge processes in advancing – or inhibiting – disability inclusive development. Submissions are welcome in English, French and Spanish. They can offer ‘peer support’ to authors who are inexperienced writers.</p>
<p>Disability inclusive development is gaining ground as a global priority, as is evident by the explicit mention of persons with disabilities in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN 2015). When conceived in terms of knowledge and knowledge processes, disability inclusive development requires negotiated understanding and synthesis of ‘multiple knowledges’ (Brown 2011) to address multiple forms of disadvantage and discrimination experienced by people with disabilities in low and middle income countries (WHO & World Bank 2011). This Special Issue will explore how this has been achieved or impeded by different stakeholders in different contexts, including but not limited to the inclusion or exclusion of the perspectives of persons with disabilities, their families and other advocates, in the formulation and implementation of development policies and programs. The purpose is to enhance understanding of how we can create conditions for more insightful learning and meaningful action among all stakeholders concerned with disability and development who have different ways of knowing and experiencing the world.</p>
