KM4Dev has recently launched a peer-reviewed e-journal in the field of knowledge sharing for development. 

 

The second issue will deal with "Approaches to Promote Knowledge Sharing in International Development Organizations" and will be co-edited by Nathan Russell, Simone Staiger-Rivas, Doug Horton, Lucie Lamoureux, and Allison Hewlitt.  <outbind://48/#_ftn1> * 

 

The purpose of this issue is to present some recent experiences with KS and lessons learned by KS practitioners who have been involved in planning, introducing, and mainstreaming KS approaches and processes in development organizations. Papers will outline the organizational settings in which they introduced or developed KS approaches and the relationships between internal and external knowledge sharing in these settings. The use of KS tools and their benefits for these organizations will be analyzed.

 

We invite KS practitioners and champions in research institutes, think tanks, donor agencies, NGOs, and other development organizations to propose papers on the following general theme:

 

ü      Approaches to Promote Knowledge Sharing in Development Organizations

 

Within this broad theme, papers should address the following, or related, topics:

 

ü      What are some entry points and strategies for introducing KS?

ü      What specific approaches or tools have (or haven't) worked, and what are the implications for future efforts to introduce and mainstream KS?

ü      How has KS related to organizational learning and organizational change efforts?

ü      What has been the link between internal and external KS?

ü      How to promote KS and collaboration in a competitive environment?

 

Please find attached the call for papers. 

 

Submission deadline for the title and abstract is the 20 April 2005. 

 

If you would like to be actively involved in this initiative, or have ideas or questions, please contact Nathan Russell at  <mailto:km4dj-editors at dgroups.org> km4dj-editors at dgroups.org
