Online knowledge sharing tools: any use in Africa?
By: Margreet van Doodewaard, Knowledge Management for Development Journal | March 5, 2007
|
| Reality shows that the use of the Internet as a knowledge sharing tool remains limited; many partner organizations seem to use the Internet first and foremost for marketing purposes. In light of the increasing attention that donor organizations themselves pay to knowledge sharing in development and the use of ICTs in knowledge sharing exercises, I cannot help but wonder why this seems to be so difficult in Africa. With this article I will explore a few possible underlying reasons for this and, at the same time, I hope this will be a starting point for further thinking and
debate.

India well positioned to take advantage of the knowledge revolution, says a new World Bank report
By: Dr DC Misra, Indian Society of E-governance (Online) | July 4, 2005
|
| This is a brief review of World Bank's new report on India and the Knowledge Economy by Carl Dahlman and Anuja Utz. This report has assumed greater importance as India has recently set up a national knowledge commission, which is, among other things, expected to 'explore ways in which knowledge can be made more widely accessible in India for maximum public benefit.' The review summarises in brief the salient findings of the study and its recommended approach. It draws attention to the need to tackle successfully the problem of 'educated unemployed' in India. Vast in its scope and attempting to present an integrated and holistic view of emerging challenges and opportunities for India in the ongoing ‘information revolution’ worldwide, the review calls this report 'a valuable contribution to the growing literature on ‘knowledge economy.’ Complimenting its authors Carl Dahlman and Anuja Lutz for producing a timely first-rate study, the review is wound up by concluding that any one interested in knowledge economy cannot afford to miss to read it.
