Comment by Ian Thorpe on May 5, 2011 at 5:12am: Dear Shaheen
A discussion on KM systems to support One UN was just launched on the UN's co-ordination practice Network (CPN) started by the One UN Team in Vietnam. It might be worthwhile to join this discussion. I have also had a similar query from Rwanda who are at an early stage in the process. Madagascar have done some work on this and responded to the query. If you are not a member of CPN here is a link to the joining instructions:

Comment by Shaheen Hussain on May 5, 2011 at 2:42am: Dear Members, I am currently working on information management systems to support the One UN pilot in Pakistan, particulary on tools for the UNCT to monitor overall funding contributions (core and non-core), and also to monitor overall progress on the One Programme. I would be interested to know if anyone else is working on similar solutions. I am also interested to know if anyone is working on systems/solutions particularly in support of overall improved aid effectiveness, either internally or externally with host governments. I look forward to hearing from you!

Comment by Hermon Ogbamichael on April 27, 2011 at 6:09am: Dear Km4dev members:

This is to humbly remind you to participate in the survey on knowledge
sharing within VCoPs. I will really appreciate if you take a few of your
minutes to fill in the questionnarire (see the link below) as I have got
a deadline and as my success in my doctoral research project depends on
your participation and focuses on km4dev VCoPs. (NB - thank you very
much for those who have already filled the survey).

Please follow the Link below to fill in the survey:

Information on the research (optional)

Subject - Questionnaire to be used for e-mail interviews with various
moderators and members of virtual communities of practice (VCoPs)

The purpose of this letter is to introduce a survey to investigate the
potential use of an information and knowledge flow model in active
VCoPs. If found applicable the model could be used for further research
in this field, for example approaches to improve the efficiency of
information and knowledge sharing, especially the tacit and explicit
knowledge, within a particular VCoP. The results of this research will
form part of a doctoral thesis.

The attached questionnaire should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to
complete.

completely voluntary. Participants are assured that their information
will be kept strictly confidential and anonymous. No references will be
made to specific individuals. All responses will be used for academic
