The overall objective of a knowledge management officer is to improve the different project management processes and results by fully integrating KM in all of them, including the M&E steps already in place, financial management, supervision and reporting.
WHAT SHOULD THESE TORS INCLUDE?
In short, a KM officer will be asked and expected to:
- Develop the annual KM work plan and budget, outlining KM activities, budget and timeline
- Define the project's KM goals and strategic objectives, and the main areas of KM-related work with clear linkages to improving programme performance, promoting innovations, scaling up success, sharing lessons learned, and influencing policy;
- Ensure there is sufficient integration between project/programme learning systems (progress reports, stakeholders meetings, knowledge products) and the project’s AWPB to close the circle of participatory, demand-driven planning and implementation;
- Develop a range of knowledge products that document evidence-based lessons learned, best practices and success stories and so on generated by the programme/project;
- Manage the project online and social media presence;
- Identify and work with relevant knowledge partners;
- Build the capacity of the project staff to enhance knowledge sharing within the project and support project management to create incentives for knowledge sharing; and
- Work with others in the PMU to develop an easily accessible information management system, including a website, knowledge repositories and archives
- Identify indicators and monitoring methods, which should be reflected in the project/programme M&E system to track results and impact of KM activities.
