The document outlines IFAD's knowledge management strategy, which has four main components: strengthening knowledge sharing and learning processes; equipping IFAD with an improved knowledge sharing infrastructure; fostering broader partnerships for knowledge sharing and learning; and promoting a supportive knowledge sharing culture. Most knowledge management initiatives will be financed through existing country program funding or regional/global grants. The strategy's vision is for IFAD to be a learning organization that systematically learns from development experiences and uses that knowledge to promote pro-poor policies and share information on rural poverty globally to influence policies.
