considerations 1. Inclusion of a Community Of Practice (COM) • In place of LinkedIn discussion forum • Benefits: engage in discussion with and seek advice from counterparts and others working at the national level, share lessons learned, best practices, tools and guidance. • Requirements: dedicated staff time for discussion moderation, maintenance of documents, etc. 2. Content Coverage (full variety of tools, resources, languages, etc.)
your support CONTENT (share your most relevant tools/guidance/links/networks) TRANSLATIONS (for tools/guidance/trainings) ADVOCACY (disseminate and spread the word!) MAINTENANCE (C.O.M – decision, engagement & maintenance support)
