Regional exchange and capitalization of experiences: examples from the South

Every year in August Intercooperation (IC) organizes a Forum-Day. This day is part of a week in which IC assembles head office and field staff in Switzerland to discuss development issues and institutional questions. The Forum-Day deals with a topic of specific interest to development practitioners. People beyond IC, particularly collaborators of SDC, of IC's foundation members, of sister NGOs and of consultants are also invited to the Forum-Day.
The topic of this year's forum is the practical application of knowledge management instruments in the natural resource domain. The examples presented deal with exchange of experiences over time and between geographical regions. IC is particularly interested in these issues because IC turns more and more into a knowledge organization, linking technical, methodological and context knowledge to operational know-how.
The crucial question is, how does knowledge generated elswhere and in the past become useful and effective for IC's programmes and partners.
