So I'm relatively new to the working in the nonprofit sector and I've been exploring the idea of pursuing capacity building funds (primarily/exclusively) for KM, particularly the acquisition and/or development of a knowledge management system (although I’d also like to include various KM trainings for our program offices in the countries we serve). 

I’m curious to know if anyone has had experience – both successful and not – pursuing funding for KM activities (specifically with regards to the development of a knowledge or content management system) and the approach/model used.  Additional details which would be helpful:

  • In terms of scope, content and/or audience, what types of systems have been or are being developed? And what is the “life” of these systems – are they project/program specific or meant to be capacity building endeavors?
  • What are some best practices and/or lessons learned from these experiences? Challenges?

I also think this information would make a great research article and I’m more than happy to compile what I learn and share.

 

Thanks!
