PICOTEAM published two
brochures together with IFAD
on Knowledge Management and Learning (KM&L)
One brochure is about an integrated
framework for KM&L
which brings together Information Management, M&E, Communication,
Innovation and Experimentation and focuses them all towards learning
and adaptation. The whole concept is geared towards improving
performance of programmes.
The other concept is a framework
to integrate KM&L into programmes
with a wide range of strategies and ways to practically implement
KM&L.

PICOTEAM has had four
sessions in the KNOWLEDGE SHARE FAIR
The KNOWLEDGE SHAE FAIR was
hosted by IFAD and FAO in Rome.
We mainly presented and discussed the experiences with IFAD initiative
on
integrating knowledge management and learning in projects and
programmes
in Eastern and Southern Africa. Two brochures on these
experiences created
a lot of interest from many actors - who are all struggling with
similar issues.
We also ran a session on 'One persons practice is the other persons
theory'
and the application of the LearningWheel as a KM tool.

New Programme on Natural
Protected Area Management in Colombia,
Ecuador and Peru
PICOTEAM supported the
preparation of a new programme of the German Development
Cooperation (BMZ-GIZ) focusing on strengthening the national
natural protected area systems
of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru with respect to adaptation to climate
change and conservation
of biodiversity (Iniciativa Trinacional).
9 July 2011
PICOTEAM facilitated the
planning meeting of the Conservation Agriculture
Working Group in Southern Africa
This group has been led by FAO,
but the conclusions of the large CA symposium in February
recommended a strong African led body to drive the promotion of
CA in Southern Africa. The
meeting came up with a well structured approach to support countries
from regional level and
FAO would become a support agency to the whole working group rather
than being in charge.
