Introducing: A completely new platform!

 

We’re thrilled to announce that we have transferred this old KNOW-HOW3000 platform to Microsoft SharePoint! This upgrade is all about enhancing user experience with faster access, intuitive navigation, and a smoother interface. Plus, it makes managing everything behind the scenes much simpler.

The new platform has two sites:

  1. Knowledge Hub: This site provides guides to our tools and methods, topic-specific information as well as communities of practice and exchange areas.
  2. Advisory Hub: This site serves as resource hub to support our advisors at every stage of their assignments (former TA Area).

These sites are only accessible to registered users. If you already had an account on the old KNOW-HOW3000 platform, you should be able to log-in with your registered email address. Please contact us, if you need access.

 

You can also visit the Learn & Share section of our new horizont3000 website for publicly available content.

OUR MISSION & VISION

KNOW-HOW3000 strives to help improve the work and impact of HORIZONT3000 projects through Knowledge Management. We believe in the power of sharing knowledge and experiences and making it accessible for all of our stakeholders.

OUR APPROACH

We offer Knowledge Management Tools to our Partner Organisations. That way, we try to make capacity strengthening and knowledge exchange among them easier. This platform is one of the tools that help us to reach that goal.

OUR COMMUNITY

Founded in 2007 as a new programme of HORIZONT3000, KNOW-HOW3000 has come to be a strong network of about 600 members across the globe. Together we have created a place where people gather to learn, share and build.

THIS PLATFORM

Its main purpose is to document, visualise and make the most relevant documents created in the scope of HORIZONT3000 projects available and accessible for our community – above all for Technical Advisors as well as Programme and Sector Coordinators.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT FOR LOGGED IN USERS

Logged in users enjoy access to restricted content and features that are only available for our KNOW-HOW3000 community members. Get access to our Documents & Resources, Communities of Practice, Member Search, KNOW-HOW3000 News and depending on whether you are a Techical Advisor, H3 Staff or Returnee, you have access to areas that are specifically relevant to you.

YOUR EXPERIENCES COUNT! THIS IS HOW:

The experience capitalisation methods the KNOW-HOW3000 stakeholders work with support the documentation and sharing of your organisation’s learning processes and therefore help you to work more efficiently. At the same time they help others by making your lessons learnt available to them.  

You can dive right into the stories of the HORIZONT3000 Partner Organisations about good practices and learnings from failure. Whether your project deals with Rural Development, Human Rights or Education – we are sure there is a valuable experience waiting for you to be discovered.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE THIS PLATFORM:

The platform works as a sustainable storage for the knowledge products resulting from our projects.

It should serve our community as a tool to overcome challenges, find solutions and inspirations for their projects and exchange knowledge and experiences with others throughout their assignments. The platform also works as a hub for all the Knowledge Management activities that can be supported by IT solutions.

HOW DO OUR USERS BENEFIT FROM KNOW-HOW3000?

Updating Base Lines and Raising Awareness

"The update of baselines for the PMC-ADA interventions in Central America through KNOW-HOW3000 resulted in raising awareness about the meaning of monitoring and planning and to a result that wasn't planned in 2016. It resulted in the construction of a participatory monitoring system in collaboration with the NGO IDEA."

Exchange Visit Sows Progress

"From this visit on (2017), most of the participants - projekt and organisational partners - have improved their skills and capacities regarding agroecology. It helped them to properly include an agroecological approach and activities in their new project 2019-2022. For example, Symbiose, Caritas and Aprovag will implement agroecological practices in gardening and vegetable cultivation. This involves biological techniques and treatments of plants. In the Nioro region, Symbiose uses this for the target groups of the project to improve their yields and products."

CoP Lead to Growth and Strength

"When creating knowledge together, we identify various aspects that allow our organizations to grow, because by sharing different activities that we have undertaken, we get a more complete picture of the variety of knowledge the women have. […] Through analysing processes and reasons, we create a greater level of awareness of our struggle for rights and empowerment, which illustrates that - despite regional differences - our interests and needs are the same. […] Through the community of practice, we prove that spaces for exchanging and sharing knowledge lead to the creation of alliances and stronger relationships, allowing women to know that there are other women carrying out the same fight. This leads to strength and growth of their organizations."

One Training – Many Benefits

"I attended the QuickBooks training in 2016 organised by Horizont3000’s KNOW-HOW3000 Programme and was happy because the training content combined budget management, cash management and accounting. One of the key outcomes of the training was seen when I returned to Mhola: I was able to reduce the time needed for producing financial reports. This in turn has led to increased efficiency in the organisation. Currently, we no longer have challenges with accuracy because Quick books already has in-built formulas."

Policy Dialogue Workshop

“I really have learnt a lot from this workshop and I am looking forward to apply all the knowledge and skills I learnt. My expectations were fully met and beyond - it was refreshing to re-learn and un-learn. The pool of organisations that participated in the sharing event had a vast range of experiences in their respective areas of work which supported not only experience sharing on CSOs engagement in policy dialogue but also sharing on the wider impact of policy dialogue in the operations of humanitarian organisations.”
