The Knowledge-Driven International Development (KDID) Portal is a family of websites established to maximize the effectiveness of development assistance by connecting development practitioners through learning opportunities and spreading innovation and good practice.

The KM Impact Challenge was designed to initiate a dialogue and process of shared learning. It has served as a springboard to increased peer-networking and collaborative action. The initial set of activities included an online call to practitioners around the world for short case stories to share their experiences, successes, and challenges in assessing their KM activities. The case stories were put through a transparent peer review process and top case story authors and other KM practitioners participated in an unConference in Washington, DC in May 2011. 

The updates include three videos:

1. Stacey Young of USAID reflects on the complexity of measuring the impact of Knowledge Management activities and discusses some of the lessons learned from the KM Impact Challenge.
   
2. Nancy White discusses various aspects of strengthening communities of practice (CoPs), as well as mechanisms to measure their effectiveness and improve our understanding of how people are participating in CoPs. 
3. Julius Nyangaga discusses his experience with projects that use Outcome Mapping to measure knowledge sharing among diverse stakeholders and shares his reflections on how OM can be used to capture knowledge uptake.
