This is a collaborative project with African
Humanitarian Action to help to establish knowledge and
learning practices. The project will assist AHA to develop
a framework for improving knowledge management and learning
across its country offices. It is expected that through the
application of knowledge management principles, AHA would
be able to make better use of its existing knowledge base,
as well as develop simple processes and procedures that foster
knowledge creation and learning. The project aims to use a
participatory knowledge audit approach involving workshops
for AHA staff, interviews and an e-discussion group. As part
of the process, AHA will host a workshop on KM for other NGOs
based in Addis and further afield, and form an African NGO
KM Community of Practice.
Project outcomes will demonstrate:
- How knowledge and learning principles and tools can be
used to improve the use of knowledge within Southern humanitarian
NGOs;
- The ways in which the delivery of humanitarian assistance
and services can be made more efficient and effective through
improved learning and knowledge management;
- Understand how ODI knowledge is currently and can be
incorporated into the knowledge systems of Southern NGOs;
- Understanding of the capacity-building activities necessary
for 1, 2 and 3;
- The potential demand for KM advisory services among African
NGOs.
This project will build on and test the wider applicability
of ODI's own Knowledge Management Strategy. Click here for
