Basic information

"In response to the many Knowledge Management and sharing initiatives across the United Nations system, the purpose of this sub-group of the KM4Dev network is to provide a forum for interested members to discuss issues, exchange resources, share experiences and plan initiatives and events on Knowledge Management within and across UN organizations globally."

This group is open to all staff who are interested in KM within UN organizations which can connect with each other through the members list and the group wall below.

In addition, we have established a mailing list on DGroups (as a sub-group to KM4Dev) which, however, is only open to UN staff members or consultants currently working for the UN (click here to see list of eligible UN bodies):

To request an invitation to this group, please send a request email to join.km4dev-un@dgroups.org including the name of your UN organization.

Comment by Carl Jackson on December 22, 2009 at 5:45am: Glad to be able to join the KM4Dev-UN group. What questions is the group interested in exploring in this domain?

Comment by Alpha Grace on December 17, 2009 at 5:15pm: Greetings to you all. Let's get the ball rolling, the world is ours!

Comment by Florencia Tateossian on December 8, 2009 at 5:15pm: This is a great initiative. We could start thinking of a wide UN KM event...

Comment by Kim Henderson on December 4, 2009 at 5:05pm: This is fantastic. I have been wanting to do this for years and am glad to see it up and running even though I am just about to move out of KM to a new role working on Crisis and Gender, as many of you know. In any case I will continue to follow and contribute with interest. Once a UN KMer always a UN KMer!

Comment by Johannes Schunter on December 2, 2009 at 10:35am: Hi Stephen, I very much like your updated statement!

Comment by Stephen Katz on December 2, 2009 at 9:19am: Thanks for this initiative, which is most welcome. Some additional context suggestions for the mission statement:

In response to the many knowledge management and sharing initiatives across the United Nations system, the purpose of this sub-group of the KM4Dev network is to provide a forum for interested members to discuss issues, exchange resources, share experiences and plan initiatives and events on Knowledge Management within and across UN organizations globally.

Comment by Luca Servo on December 2, 2009 at 6:23am: Hi Chase, I like the idea that us, from UN, can share our feelings and needs on KM. Thanks for the initiative. Hope it works a lot in the future!!

Comment by Nadejda Loumbeva on December 2, 2009 at 6:17am: Your mission statement looks absolutely great and perfect to me Johannes.
:-) Thank you Chase for the initiative!

Comment by Johannes Schunter on December 1, 2009 at 3:07pm: Thanks so much Chase for the initiative to set up this group, that's great! :-)

It seems I don't have the permission to edit a description text of the group anywhere. Are there any special permissions you can manage?

Anyway, here's a proposal for a mission statement:

"This is a sub-group of the KM4Dev network. Its purpose is to gather all KM4Dev members who are interested to discuss issues, exchange resources, share experiences and plan initiatives and events on Knowledge Management within and across UN organizations globally."
