AWDF is embarking on a process to review and organise our knowledge management function in line with our strategic vision. This review encompasses rethinking the 2020-2021 knowledge futures strategy which is the framework that has most recently guided knowledge management in the organisation. The knowledge futures strategy offered a structure for effective and reflective management of AWDF’s KM function, served as a tool for organising our internal and external facing knowledge initiatives and guided our approach towards advancing inclusive knowledge and evidence that centres African women politics, identities and aspirations.
We are looking for a consultant who will work with AWDF’s KM team to re-conceptualise AWDF’s institutional approach to knowledge management, develop a strategy and an implementation plan aligned with our ongoing strategic plan review process.
Below are specific activities to be delivered.
• Undertake a review of the current knowledge management framework (the knowledge futures strategy) extracting lessons, achievements, limitations and opportunities.
• Design and implement a methodology to assess strengths, needs and opportunities for
defining the politics, institutional capacity and collaborative to ground AWDF’s KM.
• Develop and apply a consultative process with AWDF staff, grantee partners, feminist
collectives among other critical stakeholders to assess knowledge needs and priorities.
• Define applicable approaches to guide AWDF’s objectives on critical areas like feminist research and KM capacity strengthening.
• Accompany the KM Specialist to develop a KM strategy together with an implementation
plan that aligns with AWDF’s organisational strategic plan/focus.
