Communications and Knowledge Management Induction (new staff and refresher information for staff)


CKM will organize a induction separate from the joint institutional inductions, to support the induction process coordinated by People and Organizational Development (POD), this is to allow a more in depth presentation to staff on the scope of communication activities at ILRI.

Process steps:

  • The POD team organize a group of people, who joined within a month time in one group, and then they will inform the CKM team to get prepared for the session. Contact person, in Addis (Tsehay Gashaw, t.gashaw@cgiar.org) and in Nairobi (Angeline Nekesa, a.nekesa@cgiar.org)
  • Once we agreed on the agenda with POD, then POD will send email to the new comers on the planned date and location

  • They meet the Nairobi comms colleagues to know and learn what is going on in different projects, teams and in general in the campus. And may be zoomed in to their respective project, team tools if there is any.
