Knowledge Management for Sustainable DevelopmentTime: 31 October 2002, 13:45-14:30 Location: Salle A Chair: Peter Sissons Presenters/ Participants: Werner Kasel, IBEX Reporter: Julie Archer (ICVolunteers) Languages: English Key words: Sustainable development, knowledge centre, knowledge-sharing, IBEX Mr. Werner Kasel from IBEX Knowledge Systems introduced his organization's Sustainable Development Knowledge Centre, which he described as an action-oriented tool with a scientific approach for planning and implementing sustainable development projects. Interesting Questions Another delegate asked about how accessible the Knowledge Centre really is given that there is little internet access in sub-Saharan Africa. The delegate also wanted to know how indigenous knowledge, experience and technologies were being added to the Knowledge Centre. Mr. Kasel answered that the most important thing was to make a start with the collection of data, even if it was not yet truly accessible everywhere, in order to prove that the system works. He acknowledged that next steps for the project included the gathering of information from less accessible regions. In answer to a question about the possible expansion of offices for the Knowledge Centre in developing countries, Mr. Kasel replied that there was no need to open offices in other countries because they are working with the skills and experience of partners already in those countries.
