Cairo Concept Team / Localis Consulting
Improving lives in a sustainable manner is a vision shared by many around the world. But, despite years of work, our knowledge base for sustainable development has not produced the desired outcomes. The knowledge we have is often poorly used and the same lessons keep being ‘re-learnt’ in different projects. This is especially true when trying to connect environmental and development concerns. To remedy these problems, we have created a mechanism that allows communities across the globe to create, share, store and use Knowledge for Sustainable Development, on a village-to-village basis.
This ‘Cairo Concept’ is facilitating Village-to-Village Knowledge sharing, currently in a Beta form, between 25 villages around the world. Our goal is to bring together expertise, knowledge, and local experiences in a single, online, ‘network’. This will allow the precious lessons from development experiences in one community to be shared, discussed and used in other communities. The network will then enable villages, in different corners of the globe, to come together in a ‘Virtual Development Neighbourhood’ to discuss how their community is responding to the social and environmental changes associated with development.
