Understanding how to improve this flow of knowledge is the aim of a guide published by ODI with Policy Press on Knowledge, Policy and Power in International Development. As our understanding of the way knowledge influences policy has grown, so too has the complexity of the policy arena. This background note illustrates the four-fold framework presented in the book, for analysing the interface between knowledge, policy and practice. It is designed to enable all those who a play a role in shaping the content of policies - policy-makers, researchers, civisl society organisations, non-governmental organisations and donors - to better understand and address the complex interaction between knowledge and policy. km_and_communication int_development_effectiveness development_policy policy_news communication4dev km4dev dpir political_economy_analysis governance Thu, 24 Jan 2013 05:18:12 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/14c4df1879aa0a6053d2127dab4bd46a#cotonou_online http://www.odi.org.uk/publications/7208-providing-practical-guidance-country-programming-value-analysing-knowledge-policy-power?utm_source=ODI_Update&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Google+Reader http://del.icio.us/url/14c4df1879aa0a6053d2127dab4bd46a http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/14c4df1879aa0a6053d2127dab4bd46a cotonou_online's links This Background Note draws on a recent ODI book, Knowledge, Policy and Power in International Development, to argue that in-country programming decisions should incorporate an analysis of the dynamics around knowledge, policy and power (KPP) to improve their effectiveness and value for money. It looks at technical assistance, policy dialogue, capacity building and promoting technology uptake, and details the ways in which KPP analysis can guide programming processes. It concludes by examining some of the practical aspects of carrying out knowledge, policy and power analysis. km_and_communication int_development_effectiveness development_policy communication4dev policy_news km4dev dpir political_economy_analysis governance Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:31:42 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/a31e9b287d266ff65771eb2da6e70cb8#cotonou_online http://www.researchtoaction.org/2012/10/the-five-competencies-framework/ http://del.icio.us/url/a31e9b287d266ff65771eb2da6e70cb8 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/a31e9b287d266ff65771eb2da6e70cb8 cotonou_online's links In the influential book Learning to Fly, Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell (2001) describe five key organisational ‘competencies’. As already stated, we see these of being of high practical relevance for knowledge management and organisational learning initiatives. The Five Competencies Framework has been promoted widely and is now being used by many different teams or groups, to work out how well they are performing against organisationally established criteria for knowledge and learning, and to identify goals and priorities for improvement. The competency framework works on the principle that effective knowledge and learning is based on improving performance five important competency areas: policy_news km_and_communication km4dev Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:15:31 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/a2c0d948ff522d42357a3950f998e181#cotonou_online http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3098f0aa17cc73cc4c42bc9b&id=a55124037b&e=de57315d68 http://del.icio.us/url/a2c0d948ff522d42357a3950f998e181 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/a2c0d948ff522d42357a3950f998e181 cotonou_online's links * 10 years of EPA negotiations: a never ending story * Latest issue of GREAT Insights focuses on food security * Social protection in EU aid: do the tools match the vision? * Clear leadership required on EU external action communication * Smart EU support to decentralisation * No simple “linear” representation of development levels * Europe has a “key role to play” in the Arab Spring enlargement local_governance_decentralisation communication4dev eu_development_effectiveness development_policy food_security_agriculture EPAs km_and_communication km4dev new_trade_team new_governance_team new_dpir_team new_at_ecdpm new_KM_team weekly_compass acpeutrade governance dpir policy_news Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:11:48 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/3e8270983ca364f93089b2f7f5136c17#cotonou_online http://www.ecdpm-talkingpoints.org/clear-leadership-required-on-eu-external-action-communication-strategy/ http://del.icio.us/url/3e8270983ca364f93089b2f7f5136c17 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/3e8270983ca364f93089b2f7f5136c17 cotonou_online's links A lack of clear direction and leadership on the key messages that the European Union wants to convey to the public has hampered its visibility in international affairs according to a recent evaluation carried out by ECDPM and the Development Researchers Network. ECDPM’s James Mackie, who led the research team, briefly summarises the study’s main findings in an article on the Talking Points blog. A central recommendation is that the EU should develop overall key messages that provide a foundation for its communication work on EU external action and enable it to enhance its international image. These could also provide a stronger basis for he EU to swiftly and clearly respond to fast moving news situations. new_KM_team new_dpir_team km4dev international_relations eu_institutional_reform communication4dev dpir policy_news Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:14:25 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/8402565706146467bd5c4e22c0afac21#cotonou_online http://www.inweh.unu.edu/River/KnowledgeManagement/KstarConceptPaper.htm http://del.icio.us/url/8402565706146467bd5c4e22c0afac21 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/8402565706146467bd5c4e22c0afac21 cotonou_online's links policy_news km_and_communication km4dev Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:36:51 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/68955026cf0670f8109e14a233a8d71c#cotonou_online http://prezi.com/vnrgursfy-f2/the-odi-content-management-system/ http://del.icio.us/url/68955026cf0670f8109e14a233a8d71c http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/68955026cf0670f8109e14a233a8d71c cotonou_online's links M&E;_in_development M&E;_in_development policy_news communication4dev km_and_communication km4dev Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:54:28 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/6ea183ea15e6e654d684231ad8de1a9a#cotonou_online http://countryledknowledgehubs.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=101 http://del.icio.us/url/6ea183ea15e6e654d684231ad8de1a9a http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/6ea183ea15e6e654d684231ad8de1a9a cotonou_online's links The meeting will provide, for the first time ever, a forum for 200 policy makers and practitioners from 40 countries engaged in South-South Knowledge Exchange (SSKE) to learn about Knowledge Hubs and how to strengthen their institutional capacity for SSKE.
