The ECA knowledge management strategy: managing the knowledge of a knowledge organization

Abstract

The 2012-2013 reprofiling exercise, introduced for ECA to effectively support Africa’s transformative agenda, created a Division for Public Information and Knowledge Management, bringing together four Sections with strategic responsibilities for improving ECA’s visibility and impact communications, publication, ICT, and knowledge and library services. ECA has attempted KM strategies in the past, but these were primarily focused on knowledge-sharing platforms, and produced mixed results. As a knowledge organization, ECA’s strategy focuses on how knowledge flows through its business model.
