Knowledge Management for Development

Date & time:

Moderated by:
Chat Announcement:

KM for business is what we're mostly talking about, by default. At best, we envisage KM for government or for nonprofit organizations. We commonly think that the issues and usage of KM are the same, whatever the environment.

Development projects, such as social entrepreneurship of charity projects in developing countries, are of course different from usual business/government projects. Or are they? Certainly, the circumstances in which these development projects are run may be difficult, but are their KM challenges fundamentally different from day-to-day KM? Isn't it also about bringing a community together (in this case, international development practitioners) and sharing knowledge and experience? Or is the cultural aspect more important, working with a North-South mix of participants, large and small organizations (think UN and local NGO), academics, policy makers, and activists, etc.

Agenda:

In this chat, we'd like to explore:

  • What's specific about KM4DEV?
  • How can KM provide (better) support for development projects?
  • How can we, as a community, leverage our KM capabilities for development?
