“Knowledge management can be thought of as the deliberate design of processes, tools, structures, etc. with the intent to increase, renew, share, or improve the use of knowledge represented in any of the three elements [Structural, Human and Social] of intellectual capital.”
--Seemann, et.al. (1999) as quoted by Haggie and Kingston (2003), J of Knowledge Management

KM Strategy?
Is there a knowledge management strategy that we can learn from the pilot projects on Gender and MDGs?
We try to answer this in retrospect and from the armchair.

KM Strategy?
Is there an ideal combination of the
“cognitive approach” - knowledge that can be expressed and codified
“community approach” - knowledge is socially constructed and is managed by encouraging the sharing of experiences and ideas
?

Gender and MDGs Project
Outcome 2: Incorporate gender-responsive analysis and strategies in MDG reporting and monitoring
• Increased use of analysis of quantitative and qualitative data (indicator 7)
• Increased sex-disaggregated data and information on data gaps readily available in existing databases and websites (indicator 9)

Morocco: The indicators were used by the UN system, especially in the CCA/UNDAF (2007-2011) and individual UN agencies use the national MDG report to assess the relevance of their country programme to gender equality.
Kyrgyzstan: Gender Monitoring Mechanism with harmonized indicators with interest to use this for CEDAW and Beijing, and PRS reporting
Results on Indicator 7

• Not so much “why gender” but “how is gender linked to...”
• sub-national datasets; local languages
• Materials are not only produced but the journalists also receive gender training
Selling the idea
content localisation
Targeted media and trained media
Lessons for KM Strategy
![Page 13: Knowledge Management of Gender Statistics in MDG- based Poverty Reduction Strategies IA and EGM on Gender and Statistics 12-14 December 2006, New York.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052603/56649f455503460f94c66a7e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Making the data accessible– Also means avoiding jargon, i.e.
Formulate using professional terms and ensuring that average user can understand and use them
• Combined with analysis and similar documents
• Depends on public access to internet
e-knowledge
Lessons for KM Strategy

Lessons for KM Strategy
• National statistical offices with highest levels of administration with national women's machineries and gender focal points
• UN Country Teams and Gender Theme Groups; donors and funders
• Women's rights advocates; NGOs
What are the institutional arrangements?
Links to the decision makers
Statistical systems exist in a specific development context.
