capacity4dev.eu: European Commission’s Knowledge Sharing Platform on Development and Cooperation
Capacity4dev.eu = Capacity Development through Knowledge Sharing!
4 pillars :
1. Consolidate knowledge and build Institutional Memory
2.Support Thematic Expertise, bridge the silos, Support good practice and innovation exchange
3.Enable cross-learning
4.Consolidate multiple tools and communities of practice around a common environment

1. Consolidate knowledge and build Institutional Memory
• 20% staff leaves the organisation each year
• 50% of staff on short term contracts or externals
• 90% of the knowledge leaves the organisation when they leave
• What is left behind ? Few notes, official documents in Unit drives/ ARES and … a big mailbox !
Short Institutional memory =>Constant reinventing of the wheel …
How to tackle the loss of knowledge ?
- Transfer important knowledge exchanges from email to capacity4dev.eu
- Capitalise on your knowledge through capacity4dev.eu groups
![Page 4: Capacity Development through Knowledge sharing on EU cooperation and development capacity4dev.eu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5515277e55034673228b5384/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2.1. Support Thematic Expertise
• Expertise scattered: Need to establish Thematic networks. But …many of the Thematic Networks still run on e-mail
High workload for few people running the network and inefficiency of email as a knowlledge sharing tool: loss of memory
• C4D: decentralised knowledge sharing through groups, the platform does the emailing, knowledge shared stays an builds-up in groups
![Page 5: Capacity Development through Knowledge sharing on EU cooperation and development capacity4dev.eu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5515277e55034673228b5384/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2.2 Bridge the silos, Support good practice and innovation exchange
Thematic experts often work in Silos: No time to see what is happening in other Themes even it often has a direct impact on their work: Hard to see the big picture
C4D: Content categorised by one or more Theme / Region – Country
![Page 6: Capacity Development through Knowledge sharing on EU cooperation and development capacity4dev.eu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5515277e55034673228b5384/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2.3 Help identify specialists
Even within Thematics often people are not fully aware of what other colleagues are doing: Collaboration opportunities missed
C4D: People section: Find colleagues interested or with expertise on specific themes or regions then Contact them or Join/Start a group on a specific Theme or region and start sharing.

3. Enable cross-learning among practitioners EC, EEAS, MS, Donors, Int. Organisations, private
sector, CSOs, Governments, Academia…
• Few opportunities for HQ and Delegation staff to meet and exchange with peers / experts from other organisations
• Only through few annual gatherings / workshops and personal networks
Our knowledge remains often confined in-house and is not made available/ used by others
Knowledge from other practitioners doesn’t reach us
C4D : share your knowledge and make it available to other practitioners through groups.
Use capacity4dev.eu to find knowledge and learn from others

4. Consolidate multiple knowledge sharing tools and communities of practice around a
common environment
• Each Unit, Sector and even large projects and Delegations invented their own way of being more efficient using online tools
• Email, Wikis, Blogs, CIRCABC, dedicated sites, dedicated knowledge sharing platforms (ROSA) …
Knowledge is scattered in multiple locations, the community of practice is fragmented and users need to learn a great variety of tools
C4D : Consolidate knowledge sharing around capacity4dev.eu using groups (web rationalisation strategy)
