Strategy for Knowledge Management
Drawing on the wealth of experience embodied in its portfolio of nearly
1,000 medium to large-scale projects and the over 5,000 projects of
the GEF Small Grants Programme managed by UNDP, UNDP-GEF produces a
broad range of knowledge materials. The Knowledge
Management in Support of the Global Environment: UNDP-GEF Initiatives
(2004) (pdf. 834 KB) document provides an overview. The aim of these
materials is to extract lessons from past and on-going projects that
can be applied, and to replicate successes. In practice, this is realized
in four ways, through:
- the development of information systems;
- the analysis and codification of lessons learned;
- the dissemination of materials;
- the use and application of knowledge generated.
Using and applying lessons is particularly important to ensure that
materials provide practical information and are improved or updated
regularly. UNDP-GEF collaborates closely with other members of UNDP's
Energy and Environment
Practice Group, as well as experts from other UNDP
development practices , in carrying out activities related to the
generation of knowledge materials. UNDP-GEF also participates in various
knowledge management activities as part of the GEF partnership.
