COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Developing a well-conceived knowledge networking strategy for thematic knowledge exchange will improve worthwhile knowledge exchange. At the planning stage, the conceptual differences concerning the wide range of approaches available are significant. For example, the fundamental difference between a Community of Practice and a Community of Interest determines the course of action to be taken. This also has financial implications as investors will certainly have to pay more to invest in systems for quality information’s exchange. UNDP has great experiences with developing communities of practice. In determining how a network is to be approached; for example, a plan must consider what services, who manages, facilitated or non -facilitated and battle with issues concerning network resources. At the planning stage, the rules for participation are also determined.
