Knowledge Management Strategy
This Knowledge Management Strategy outlines an approach to create, identify, document, strengthen, and disseminate knowledge-intensive activities to 2020 and beyond.
Knowledge-based outputs, tools and processes:
-
Identification of major target groups, their needs, motivations and behaviour
Access the document Personas and the Stakeholders section of the project page -
Identification and creation of high-quality documents that link the chemicals agenda with SDGs, specifically targeting SDG 2,3,6,11,12; and considering gender priorities in chemicals management.
-
Identification of existing websites, knowledge management platforms, communities of practice, and other tools aligned with the Project’s objectives.
Access the websites and e-learning library -
Database of multimedia resources classified by type and EPIs.
Access the platform library -
Database of EPI experts (and networks of experts) classified by expertise.

Access the events calendar -
Consider innovative approaches to knowledge management such as big data, artificial intelligence, gamification, virtual reality and internet of things.
-
Communications strategy, including social media, aligned with UN Environment communication guidelines.
-
Processes to promote media cross-posting and media uptake amongst partners, with great focus on social media.
-
Processes to engage and encourage partners to provide knowledge deliverables such as thematic papers, elements for side events, opportunities to present in science and policy-related events (side events at SAICM OEWG3 and ICCM5).
-
Processes for identifying, attending and presenting at relevant meetings and forums linking SDGs, chemicals and health.
-
Processes to promote EPIs by facilitating networking, knowledge exchange and partnership among stakeholders through the component deliverables.
-
Processes to encourage project partners to give technical input to write stories on key EPIs, new reports, upcoming meetings, assessment of progress, and/or new decisions and recommendations related to chemicals management (in collaboration with IISD).
-
Processes evaluating, selecting and scaling-up best practices for countries, SAICM stakeholders and a wider audience working on sound management of chemicals.
-
Processes to analyze user interaction in SAICM and partners platforms, track access/download of resources, and map social media activity within stakeholders’ channels to identify and engage in trends.
