30 January 2013 L&M Team call

From KM4Dev Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Present: Ewen, Simone, Willem.

Agenda:

  1. Update on activities and AARs?
  2. Monitoring the activities around the innovation fund?
  3. A review or our own L&M work?
  4. The consultant to bring it all together: any final view on this? See http://meetingwords.com/iMVpe44gul
  5. What about possible activities at the end of the IFAD grant period? An article for the KM4Dev journal about our experience?
  6. Travel plans and availability?

1. Update on activities and AARs:

  • Some of these AARs are available here: [1]. Ewen's done CT Lab (final check from the CT Lab team coming up but AAR 98% ready) and KS Toolkit update days with Melissa (finalised). Sophie has interviewed Ewen on the focused conversation. Melissa will contact Pete and Natalie on the SNA AAR later in February.
  • All members to share what they're working on in this respect and to report on the wiki in a similar fashion


2. Monitoring the activities around the innovation fund?

  • We will monitor (AAR) how the Innovation Fund worked as a mechanism but not the InnovationFund-ed activities. This work will be undertaken when the Innovation Fund is finalised.
  • Can you please mention if you would like to be involved in this later?


3. A review or our own L&M work?

  • Ewen will invite the core group to reflect on how the L&M group has performed - we won't be assessing ourselves (except perhaps briefly and informally in our final chat before this group gets dismantled).


4. The consultant to bring it all together: any final view on this? ToR available on [2]

  • Pragmatically it's better to renounce this and to basically organise a reflection about this otherwise: maybe first online with KM4Dev core group members - with the help of an external facilitator - and then face-to-face, with the help of an external facilitator.


5. What about possible activities at the end of the IFAD grant period? An article for the KM4Dev journal about our experience?

  • This group will stop its activities soon as the grant is coming to an end in March 2013 (even though that date shouldn't prevent anyone from working further on any of this work, L&M or otherwise).
  • Ewen suggests having a final discussion in February or March to stop activities in this group and to informally reflect on this experience.


6. Travel plans and availability?

  • Ewen will share a Doodle for a final chat.

  • [16:32:39] Ewen Le Borgne: Perhaps we should have the core group deal with this instead.
