In a consortium lead by IISD, Eco is assisting GVEP to develop its communications and knowledge strategies and their effectiveness and accessibility in the African context. This includes analysis of networks such as EUEI, PCIA, REEEP, GNSED, LP Gas Challenge, ENERGIA, HEDON, and regional networks such as ARECOP, and AFREPREN. Under the project, Eco also facilitated workshops in South Africa and Kenya to help participants discuss the strengths and opportunities, and weakness and threats of knowledge management approaches, the information needs of GVEP's target groups and flows of information on financing, social and environmental benefits. The analysis assesses how the existing knowledge management tools of GVEP meet these needs. The analysis also assesses whether and how individual GVEP member knowledge products and services are being utilized in the region. Finally, Eco will review how the proposed strategy might best serve the needs of the target groups of GVEP's knowledge products and services.
