Science

At the Global Environment Facility Independent Evaluation Office, I worked as the online manager of Climate-Eval, a community of practice (CoP) that facilitated peer-to-peer learning in the evaluation of climate change development programs and projects. I proposed a redesign of the website and the formulation of a coherent knowledge management strategy.

• Skills and responsibilities: Online moderation, learning design, webinar and audiovisual production, social media management, database management, coordination with subject matter experts
• Client: Global Environment Facility Independent Evaluation Office
• Target Audience: International development professionals working on climate change and evaluation
• Tools: Drupal content management system, Adobe Connect, Twitter, Linkedin

Proposal

The strategy I proposed resulted in a more streamlined online forum by using Linkedin Groups, introduction of a blog, publication of a bi-weekly newsletter, and design and delivery of webinars and online workshops. I helped produce the logo, slogan, and a video introduction about the community. I also represented Climate-Eval in international conferences in Thailand, Nepal, and South Africa. During my tenure, membership grew by 200% over two years, and a proposal I formulated secured funding from country donors for the next two years.

In 2016, Climate-Eval evolved into Earth-Eval, and underwent further website redesign. The blog, however, is still active to this day.
