Our EngagementsASSISTING UNDP GEF SGP IN LEVERAGING BEST PRACTICES ACROSS ITS PARTNER-GRANTEES Through this project, UNDP GEF Small Grants Programme was able to identify and document in text and video formats selected success stories from among its more than 160 past and current partner-grantees. The documentation of knowledge was performed in two ways: through a “How to do it” manual of a practice and through a “Vignette” that tries to capture the experiences and qualities of the corresponding best practitioner.
A Knowledge Management Manual was formulated which incorporates guidelines to facilitate cross-project learning in the project design, appraisal, monitoring and terminal phases. Two groups of best practitioners were convened, one for a Lessons Learned Meeting and another for a Wisdom and Knowledge Sharing Workshop. In the latter, a participant observed, "Kapansin-pansin ang kanilang kakayahan o kaalaman tungkol sa pagpapatakbo ng workshop, hindi lamang sa antas ng 'ulo' (teorya) subalit higit ay sa antas ng 'puso' (intra-personal). Wala na akong maimumungkahi sa kanila dahil ito ay kanilang nabalanse ng husto at may kabukasan o `flexibility’ sa approach/programa batay sa nakitang pangangailangan ng mga kalahok na grantees." [The capacities of workshop facilitators are noteworthy, both in theory or intellect (the “head”) and more in inter-personal (“the heart”) skills. I cannot suggest further improvements because they were able to balance the two and they showed openness and flexibility in the approach/program of the workshop in response to the needs of the participants-grantees.] The KM services performed: Lessons-learned meeting  |
