Networking Program
The Coalition is a network of people, institutions and ideas—essentially a dynamic “community of practice”. This network is both an end and a means—making it the primary vehicle driving the organization’s spirit of innovation and learning. The networking program aims to help the Coalition become an effective contributor to global health research in Canada and beyond.
The program’s objectives include:
- To provide a range of incentives to ensure dynamic participation of members. These are summarized in Coalition’s membership strategy.
- To create or identify innovative knowledge management practices, and adapt these for its members to use. This will include online social networking tools, adapted to the needs and interests of Coalition members.
- To facilitate opportunities for collaboration and partnership through the creation of emerging theme groups. Several theme groups have been identified and will soon be able to provide information and links on specific topics.
Resources
A “resource group” associated with the networking program contributes to the Coalition’s web-based resources under the headings of: partnership building and networking.
