Knowledge management

Assessments with a formative approach and a main learning focus. Overall objectives involve incorporating MEL culture in-house promoting highly participative and pro-active use of all the organisational resources (inter-departmental plus volunteers at both HQ and field levels).

  • Thematic enrichment: thorough assessment of the thematic area to enrich in-house approaches with latest international developments to be used as the learning frames of the processes.
  • Identification of benchmarks: search and identification of other projects, organisations to be incorporated as benchmarks.
  • Panel of experts: involvement of a variety of external/internal thematic experts to enrich and determine main key aspects to assess and extract most relevant findings, conclusions and recommendations.
