Establish a movement wide knowledge base edit
Establish a knowledge-base system with access to all Movement learning assets.
- Design the knowledge-base to be user-friendly, participatory, functional, multilingual, and searchable to store all the internal knowledge resources of the Movement so contributors can be aware of what exists and where to find it.
- Create clear documentation regarding infrastructure development and scalability to transparently engage more Movement stakeholders.
- Encourage the creation of metadata for every piece of internal knowledge to support its findability through search tools.
Encourage the growth and maintenance of this knowledge-base following these practices:
- Encourage sprints with focused scope to avoid cost and time overruns.
- Adapt content, training, and learning to local contexts and involve diverse communities to ensure knowledge is accessible and available in multiple forms.
- Provide dedicated staff to assist with content curation, discoverability, quality assurance, user support, and to facilitate peer-to-peer matchmaking.
- Support the creation of reports to measure and evaluate the Movement’s progress accurately, thus creating better awareness and setting informed priorities.
