• Focus: To make an inventory of agricultural projects(this is a start, we will expand to other sectors later;) that have interesting information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) and Knowledge management or communication projects – which are currently functional across the country
• Rationale: • Know who’s doing what where• Find out about interesting approaches, methods and tools• Encourage learning across initiatives (around common challenges)
and avoid duplication of efforts (around common opportunities)• Match-making and joint project opportunities might open an
opportunity to join forces among projects that work with similar goal ?
Focus and rationale of this project
Methodology used
. Data collected from information Agency like MCIT• Informal interview also called semi-structured interviews
among individuals• Internet browsing• Observation• Telephone interviews among program partners• Email exchange with program directors and evaluators• Feedback from KM4Dev group to improve this work• Formation of an informal task force• Development of Google doc to list projects
Feedback from KM4Dev group • Focus on KM projects not just ICT• Which services are being developed / used where? • Commercial and non-commercial projects;• Develop a central/accessible place to access this
information – with possibility to upload info onto it;• Carry out target groups’ needs assessment;• Carry out project impact assessment;• Each of our organization to contribute information about
‘champion’ projects we know.
Feedback we received• What we Included:
• Created accessible place to upload information which is the Google doc• Considered KM related activity• Outlined information we seek from the projects • Contributed one or more projects from our own organization or that we know very well
What we are not going to do:• Needs assessment• Impact assessment• Commercial projects (unless for development)
• What we will do later:• Considering outcomes and impact of these projects• Scaling up (considering the scale of intervention)• Expanding to other sectors and initiatives• Developing an ICT tool for the mapping and matchmaking?
