Meshwork Knowledge and Learning Platforms

Sections

Meshwork Knowledge and Learning Platforms combine the functions of Real-time Monitoring and Evaluation with analysis, knowledge discovery, capacity building and learning to achieve cost-effective impact at scale.

Gaiasoft’s unique knowledge platform solutions develop a “meshwork” of communities of practice, performance data and knowledge creating synergies and learning across projects, institutions and locations. A meshwork creates a high-performing knowledge ecosystem to fast track learning for achievement of an ambitious shared purpose.

A Meshwork Knowledge and Learning Platform facilitates creation of re-usable templated Knowledge Products which are efficiently rolled-out or mainstreamed using the platform. A Meshwork Knowledge Platform fast tracks innovation and spread of knowledge by facilitating the lifecycle from knowledge discovery to re-use and scale-up.

Suitable for implementation and knowledge sharing related to large, complex, multi-stakeholder programmes such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Paris Agreement and the Green Climate Fund.

Methodology

The meshwork definition process uses a programme or knowledge framework to define and configure an online platform to monitor performance and to semantically profile and organize people and knowledge.

The platform automatically makes relevant experts, expertise and knowledge accessible from within the M&E system whenever needed.

Learning loops and knowledge discovery are automated in the platform and supported by standardized processes.

Mass capacity building is supported through linking e-learning and knowledge products to the structure of the meshwork.

Engagement Model

This is a solution supported by configuration and consulting design based on Gaiasoft’s standard platform.
