Subject: [km4dev-l] Call for papers for second issue of KM4Dev e-journal

===8<==============Original message text===============
Dear KM4Dev community,

 

KM4Dev has recently launched a peer-reviewed e-journal in the field of
knowledge sharing for development.

The second issue will deal with "Approaches to Promote Knowledge
Sharing in International Development Organizations" and will be
co-edited by Nathan Russell, Simone Staiger-Rivas, Doug Horton, Lucie
Lamoureux, and Allison Hewlitt.

The purpose of this issue is to present some recent experiences with
KS and lessons learned by KS practitioners who have been involved in
planning, introducing, and mainstreaming KS approaches and processes
in development organizations. Papers will outline the organizational
settings in which they introduced or developed KS approaches and the
relationships between internal and external knowledge sharing in these
settings. The use of KS tools and their benefits for these
organizations will be analyzed.
 
We invite KS practitioners and champions in research institutes, think
tanks, donor agencies, NGOs, and other development organizations to
propose papers on the following general theme:
"Approaches to Promote Knowledge Sharing in Development Organizations"

Within this broad theme, papers should address the following, or
related, topics: 

- What are some entry points and strategies for introducing KS?
- What specific approaches or tools have (or haven't) worked, and what
are the implications for future efforts to introduce and mainstream KS? 
- How has KS related to organizational learning and organizational
change efforts? 
- What has been the link between internal and external KS?
- How to promote KS and collaboration in a competitive environment?

Submission deadline for the title and abstract is the 20 April 2005. 

If you would like to be actively involved in this initiative, or have
ideas or questions, please contact Nathan Russell at
