Knowledge Management. The UN in Viet Nam is committed to improving knowledge management6 and knowledge sharing7 in order to support the UN’s objectives of becoming a learning organization that is recognised as a leading knowledge broker in Viet Nam. As the UN in Viet Nam moves increasingly towards upstream policy work, the ability of the UN to achieve the objectives of the One Plan 2012-2016, as well as of the Delivering as One Initiative, is largely dependent on the knowledge and capacity of staff. A more systematic, coherent and explicit approach to knowledge management is needed to enable the UN to meet its objectives, including improved internal information sharing and dissemination with staff and externally with partners and stakeholders, as well as improved use of knowledge to achieve the broader objectives of the UN in Viet Nam, including for policy and advocacy purposes. Knowledge management is also important to preserve institutional memory in the context of high staff turnover, in particular of staff in international positions. Knowledge management in the UN in Viet Nam is designed to build on existing knowledge management strategies and initiatives of the UN and individual Participating UN System Agencies.
