Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book documents experiences by those at the forefront of technical support and capacity development. The experiences and lessons learned all originate from technical support and capacity development provided in Asia, Africa and Latin America through the UNAIDS Technical Support Facilities on these continents. The case studies in this book range from very practical experiences on how capacity building was carried out with local consultants working on harm reduction for injecting drug users in Indonesia, to the analysis of capacity building needs in relation to the Global Fund supported programs and the documentation of a successful South-South co-operation initiative involving countries in Latin America and Africa. This is the result of a writeshop in which the authors put on paper the various innovations and approaches they have used, and which can be adapted or adopted by countries, individuals and organisations working in the field of HIV to strengthen national HIV and AIDS responses.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book focuses on the evaluation of information projects, products and services from a learning perspective. It looks at evaluation within the context of the overall project cycle, from project planning and implementation to monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment, and then at the evaluation process itself, the tools involved and examples of their application. The theme running throughout the toolkit is: Participatory evaluation for learning and impact. The emphasis is on internal evaluation -- or 'self-evaluation' -- rather than external evaluation. Internal evaluation contributes to organisational learning and represents a significant shift from traditional evaluation, which has tended to be donor-driven to meet the demand for accountability and compliance. If evaluation is to achieve its ultimate objectives of enhancing learning and demonstrating impact, it needs to be applied with confidence in a systematic and coherent way.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sustainable use of natural resources is a key element in the livelihoods of rural people. Especially the poor are often disproportionately affected by environmental degradation: it loosens their production base, makes them vulnerable to health risks, and can result in natural or man-made disasters. Sharing and accumulation of knowledge are important to help rural people make better decisions. This bulletin presents four examples on how projects and organisations in Western Africa deal with the knowledge aspects and capacity development in land resource management. With the ongoing processes of democratic decentralisation and privatisation, more and more actors are expected to play their role in sustainable resource management. The fragmented landscape of actors has huge consequences for the ways knowledge can be developed and shared. The bulletin analyses the examples and draws lessons with respect to the opportunities for knowledge sharing and capacity development. What are key ingredients for a knowledge management strategy Strategic questions are identified that need attention in policy development both for donor agencies and governments in the region. We conclude that knowledge management is not easy to implement in the current multi-stakeholder context.…
