PROGRAMME DELIVERY
Knowledge Management
Application of conservation data to reallife challenges requires a fundamental rethinking of how information is stored and shared in the 21st century. The Union is redesigning its information architecture - from publication processes to knowledge repositories - to more effectively support our global agenda and membership. Our systems enhance availability of IUCN products, and our websites and databases provide excellent services to inform and educate members, partners and the world.

Communications with a tangible impact
The Union made great strides in its efforts to establish itself more aggressively as a proud name in the international arena. We have formulated what makes us unique, and have translated that into a clear style for all our publications and other products. Our new 'face' will make it easier for our members and partners, as well as the general audience, to recognize us in future. At the same time, visitors to our virtual green web www.iucn.org grew by 60% and the number of visits nearly doubled. Most look at vacancies to join our team, which is a good sign of competitiveness. Visitors also seek information about animal species, especially sharks, protected areas and ecosystem management.

Young professionals prepared to carry the torch
The Union embraced the message from the Vth IUCN World Parks Congress to better engage with youth and young conservation professionals by launching a scholarship program. This is a tangible expression of our commitment to involve and benefit from the participation of young professionals in our work.

   

 

 

The Union set up learning networks and training programs.

Improving access to knowledge and information.
