Knowledge sharing update

Latest published research: Evaluation of IICD’s ICT Roundtable process.

Sharing of experiences across countries is an important knowledge sharing mechanism to strengthen the local Information exchange and Networking (IN) networks. The IN Skills Development programme is a full-fledged online facilitation skills development programme developed for Ghana, Jamaica, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia. An international expert in e-facilitation, together with a co-facilitator from the Ghana Network, has been contracted to help design an appropriate e-facilitation training plan for the Networks. The actual training will reinforce the IN participants’ networking and facilitation capacities online as well as give them the tools to progress in their lobbying and advocacy work. Meanwhile, planning also started with the Ecuador Network to develop a pilot training workshop on acquiring basic lobbying and advocacy skills in order to effectively influence policies.
