CoP examples
Communities of Practice can in practice take on many different forms. Here you find links to a selection of examples.
- AGUASAN - a CoP of water and sanitation practitioners and conceptualists which organises an annual thematic workshop.
- Neuchâtel Initiative - an initiative that emerged out of the wish to get a common understanding on agricultural advisory services among the major donor agencies and developed into a CoP that undertakes joint conceptual work on all kinds of issues around rural services.
- Fiscal Administration in Municipalities, Ecuador - mayors from various municipalities formed a group to share experiences with fiscal procedures and develop ideas on how to improve them.
- Forum for Sustainable Land Management (SLM) - a CoP that links SLM research experts and organisations engaged in implementation on the ground from the Swiss development community in order to integrate research learnings effectively into practice.
