Development Information and Knowledge Services at the Local-level - From a Need to Practice

Background

The UNDP Capacity 2015 Africa Programme (C2015-Africa) has elaborated a concept for the development of a Local-level Integrated Information System (LIIS) within the framework of a global Information and Learning Network (ILN) to support capacity development in Africa. LIIS is designed with the aim to enhance the capacity of various stakeholders to access, share, and utilize information and knowledge necessary for developing locally-inspired strategies and plans towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The approach implementation of ILN/LIIS involves the building of partnerships with various organisations and institutions across Africa, and providing information and knowledge support services to these partners to enable them to support local development activities, supporting a bottom-up development of capacity for local authorities, civil society organisations, and community-based groups, as well as top-down processes through the more formal mechanisms.
