UNV Knowledge Platform

1
UNV Knowledge Platform

• Started as an attempt to re-vamp the CO Net, but
  has gone beyond
• Built based on two needs assessment surveys among
  country teams and group work at UNV HQ
• Intended as an interactive electronic portal
  catering to the information and learning needs
  of both UNV country teams (including serving UN
  Volunteers) and UNV Headquarter staff
• Should make it easier for UNV staff and
  volunteers to work in a more networked and
  collaborative fashion
• Should facilitate knowledge building and sharing
  for organizational learning
