<div dir="ltr">Hi all!<div><br></div><div>I am writing a proposal to the UN for an evaluation of a Gender-based violence Information Management System (IMS) that is in use in conflict/post-conflict areas - I am writing it on behalf of the market research and strategy firm that I do work for, Junicon. </div>
<div><br></div><div>As I develop the methodology, it occurred to me that it could be valuable to slip in an Open Space at the beginning of each of the country field missions (5-7 days, 3 countries, 2-4 stakeholder organizations in each country, but few reps from each stakeholder org involved with the IMS).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Based on my experience, there will be concern with getting interested parties in the room at the same, as well as concern with any engagement that takes more than 1.5 hours...those issues aside, does anyone know of any UN use of Open Space, or related experiences that may be appealing to a body such as the UN <br>
