KM4Dev Futures: Focused Conversations 2014

Part of the IFAD funded studies about KM4Dev Futures is a series of conversations about each of the contributions. The goal is to unpack some of the issues, bring in additional perspectives, and think together about the implications of each contribution.

A facilitator is being recruited for each conversation to pose an opening question at the beginning, to nudge the conversation forward a couple of times if necessary, and then, ideally, to collect contributions in this wiki under Discussions. A summary would be a marvelous contribution. By having a bit of light facilitation, the individual contributors will be free to respond to questions, participate in a debate, and be able to count on someone else being there during their period in the spotlight.

Here is a working schedule for times and other details:
