Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Toolbox

Tool Details

Knowledge Sharing Toolkit

This toolkit has been developed by the ICT-KM Program, a former Program of the CGIAR, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). It is a living knowledge repository about knowledge sharing. It was created to be a resource both for KS workshops and as an ongoing place to learn about, improve upon and generally share our knowledge sharing practices. There are other KS toolkits out in the world - many of them listed in our acknowledgments. Most of them, however, are static - not updated. The KS toolkit was meant to provide a place where practices can be shared in an on-going manner. The toolkit has three main pieces. Two "libraries" one for methods and one for tools that can be used for knowledge sharing, and a set of perspectives and guidance that can help you choose tools and methods for your needs and contexts. By tools, it is meant web based software and offline physical tools that can be used with a variety of methods. By methods, it is meant group processes that people can use to interact with each other, online or offline. This toolkit has an emphasis on online tools and offline methods, but it is hoped over time to include also a wide range that work in both or either environment.
