Descripción
The FAO Regional Office for Africa officially launched the Resilience Community of Practice (CoP) during a virtual meeting that brought together colleagues from FAO headquarters, regional and subregional offices, and country teams. Opening remarks by Priya Gujadhur emphasized the CoP’s role in advancing institutional learning, innovation, and collaboration across FAO’s resilience work in Africa. The CoP, a key element of the RAF Resilience Knowledge Management (KM) Initiative, formalizes peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing, building on tools like the RIMA-based resilience measurement approach piloted in eight countries. Six thematic priorities will guide the CoP, including evidence generation, regional programming, and capacity strengthening. Key KM outputs to date include a regional KM baseline, two editions of the RAF Resilience Newsletter, and ongoing contributions from country offices. Monthly webinars will begin in August, followed by a coordination review and an end-year impact assessment. Discussions highlighted the importance of evidence-based good practices, aligned with project theories of change and sustainability indicators. Participants expressed enthusiasm for podcasts and a proposed survey on KM product uptake. Next steps include updating the RAF Resilience Plan of Action, peer review of assessments, and continued knowledge product contributions from country offices.
