Dear all:

ENRAP – a collaborative  effort of IFAD and IDRC – has been promoting knowledge networking among IFAD’s projects and partners in Asia                    over the last several years. Building capacity at regional, national and project level, to share knowledge has been key to integrating regular  knowledge sharing and management within IFAD operations. This process gained speed with the formation of a knowledge facilitator's (KF) group as a key connector in the IFAD network,comprising of IFAD's officers based in country offices. Their exposure to KS techniques led to a lot of excitement in working with new ways to enhance learning for better results in tackling poverty; and from country offices soon spread to projects and partners. Driving the learning and exchange process in Asia-Pacific, members of the KF group have been sharing share their insights on KM and KS processes to improve learning within and outside IFAD. This guide introducing KS tools and methods for facilitators was put together in response to their needs and as a result of their tremendous efforts. Over several months they provided inputs, tested methods in the field, piloted the draft version and provided feedback. Allison Hewlitt and Lucie Lamoureux held our hands through out this journey leading with their specialized understanding of learning and sharing methods.The guide is available at: http://www.ifad.org/pub/thematic/km/faciliator_guide.pdf

We hope others can learn from the exercise that went into developing this document and use the guide as needed. Recently MK4D a programme of IDS, Sussex used the document for their workshop in India.

Comments are welcome.

Friends, I also feel that FEEDBACK, which is a very important medium of TRANFERing  knowledge  and information is very vital. A small note in response to a writer makes them feel APPRECIATED , even in cases where there is nothing to add: just saying thank you goes a long way. Feedback provides the writer with:

• knowledge of how he or she was received by their readers
• what the readers would have LEARNT
• the writer itself can also learn from the feedback received from the readers

And most importantly it STIMULATES and encourages the writer to stay engaged in the process and to continue on the wave of enthusiasm he or she may be riding at that time. All for now. Peace and Love Zenita

Friends , I feel that how we share is also important, it needs to be naturally appealing, I feel how we put over the information is important as different ways appeal to different people, so I would like to suggest that if we are not already doing this that we incorporate a mixture of stories, facts, figures and some visuals.

Hi friends,

 

I'm excited to share the results of the survey on the Share tools! Here is the report: Revisiting Share strategy

 

I wrote down my ideas at the end of the doc. I invite all of you to share your ideas based on the survey outcomes. I have specific questions for you:

-          One idea would be to merge the weekly digest and the newsletter into a simplified 'News from the Constellation'. What are your thoughts on this?

-          What should be the structure of this newsletter? Per issue (HIV, malaria, ARH, etc;) or separate news related to Constellation events from other postings?

-          Do we want to include all the postings (blogs, forum, announcements) in the newsletter or only some, to keep it short ?

-         Several members expressed they want the Main page on Ning to be structured like Facebook. Should we test it out and put the Activity feeds in the center of the Main page (instead of blogs)? 

-         Some country team like Belgium and Kenya now use Google calendar for their activities. Should we all use Google calendars or do we want to create an events page on Ning where everyone can add events? This means that the CST, Kenya and Belgium might need to update two calendars.

 

I welcome all your thoughts. 

Thanks team!

 

Laurence

Dear Friends,

The Constellation is organising Community Action Day on 1 December 2010 or any date around late november or early December where facilitators can encourage the communities to meet, discuss their strengths and hopes, o do their self assessment and upload action plans and event photographs on the website.

Join the group to check out the tool kit, ask questions, share your self-assessment and action plan and connect with other communities around the world who participate in the event. You can join the group on: http://aidscompetence.ning.com/page/community-action-day

Hope to see you there soon. Please share it with your teams and communities.

Warm regards,

Rituu

Dear friends,

I take the liberty of suggesting the use of Gantt Project. It is a cross-platform desktop tool for project scheduling and management. You may already know it. I think it is very well done. I received a training about this programme at the University, last year. It is quite easy to use, if I remember rightly.
I was reading some reports those days, with some charts and tables, and I remembered Gantt Project. It can be very useful, for planning your personal or professional projects. So I share about this tool, which may help some of you.

For more information, please follow the link: http://www.ganttproject.biz/

Have a nice week !

I wish the best to all of you !!

Marion =)
