Descripción
This publication, presented at the Knowledge Share Fair held at FAO headquarters on 20-22 January 2009, addresses sharing as an activity rather than an entity, a consciousness of, and reverence for, our world – one which is shared across the Agencies within the framework of their respective mandates. This emerges at a time of culture change for FAO as well as the UN, as advocated by the IEE report and called for by Ban Ki Moon in his speech delivered in Turin at the end of August, 2008: “I made this point last year, and I do so again. In our work together, I want you to cross lines. I want you to consult colleagues beyond the usual sphere, connect throughout our organization.” What level of sharing awareness can be found at FAO, in its daily operations with and in the field, or at headquarters? Four FAO officers holding responsibility for projects and staff have been asked four questions of a non-technical nature, although delving into their experience in and, knowledge of, multi cultural milieus. Four personal approaches will be showcased, as belonging to officers from the Investment Centre Division (with its collaborative projects involving IFAD and the World Bank); from OCD, FAO’s interface between headquarters and the field; not overlooking either the Gender Division or one of FAO’s technical departments: Fisheries.
