Presentation transcript:

KM in Rural & Agricultural Development: The ENRAP experience Shalini Kala, ENRAP IFAD-IDRC

 Why networking  Why ENRAP  What did it do  What changed

Why networking?  Rich project knowledge exists & is being created continuously Learning within IFAD family was limited - projects unconnected, working in isolation Knowledge not available in shareable form  Rapidly expanding telecommunications Weak capacity to use ICT tools for sharing – physical, funds, human Lack of appreciation – knowledge sharing, knowledge management & use of ICT tools Networking to share knowledge

Why Share Knowledge? To improve project performance through:  Improved management – planning, resource allocation & decision making  Improved monitoring  Enhanced communication capacity for community engagement & informing policy making Innovation, replication, up-scaling

Why ENRAP? To promote knowledge-sharing networks within projects, across projects & among rural dev. players:  Networking: IFAD projects & associated partners are making greater use of regional & country programme networks to actively share knowledge  ICT4L Research: ICT applications that have proved successful in improving rural livelihoods are accessible to network members for replication & up- scaling

What is ENRAP?  ENRAP (Knowledge Networking for Rural Development in Asia-Pacific Region) Phase I started in 1998,covered 5 countries (15 projects) Phase II ( ) expanded to 8 countries (40 projects) Phase III ( ) covers all of Asia-Pacific IFAD-IDRC collaboration

What does KS involve?  Documentation of knowledge – needs capacity  Validation through discussion & sharing amongst various actors – needs mechanisms such as networks  Systematic approach to the above – needs capacity, mechanisms, strategy & resources

What were the challenges?  Wide diversity: languages, economic status – CONTEXT of Asia-Pacific  Modest effort to change practice substantively  Lack of demand for knowledge networking possibly due to lack of understanding of value Disinterested CPMs  Weak capacity – analysis, documentation  Disparate interests  Phase III: Engaging new members quickly

What were the opportunities?  Corporate emphasis on KM  Recognition of knowledge needs & gaps  Common interests & needs  Country office establishment taking over the supervision function from UNOPS Appointment of Country Focal Points or Program Officers (CPO) Increasing CPM interest

ENRAP Strategy  Working from project to national to regional levels, in parallel  Demonstrating value of networks in effective/useful knowledge sharing – creating demand  Building capacity to network, share & plan for networking/sharing: of CPOs & through them in countries  Identifying and nurturing “ champions ” : PDs, Project and partner staff, CPOs  Engaging/Influencing CPMs by keeping them informed and seeking their advice  Engaging new members through existing ones  Tracking network growth – SNA research

What Changed?

Network at 2010

Some outcomes  general recognition of the value of knowledge networking by members (CPMs, CPOs or project staff) & the role that each of them plays in making this effective  Efforts at improving knowledge networking moved from being adhoc & project specific to broad, generic & of a higher level  KM efforts at project, national and regional levels getting well-linked  KS increasingly an integral part of project & country poverty reduction efforts – improved capacities, mechanisms, resources  tested information available on the use of information and communication tools in agriculture

Some outputs  KS Tools & Methods Guide  Writeshops: Guide & Cases  Systematization: Guide & Manual  Research findings: Use of ICTs in enhancing rural livelihoods  Numerous project outputs – field stories, films, websites, etc.  …
