On 24 June 2021, KM4Dev - a global community of international development practitioners interested in Knowledge Management - hosted an informative session organized by the WBG in collaboration with IFAD, to create awareness of the community building tools available in the WBG Community of Practice Toolkit, and to share practical advice and tips. More than 200 participants registered for the session, representing 156 organizations from 43 countries. You can watch a video of this event including captions and video chapters allowing you to skip to the parts most relevant to you. Additional resources are linked in the video description.
More than 150 questions were submitted through the registration form. The questions were analysed and grouped into 5 topics.

We created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page here on Communities4Dev. It provides advice and practical tips covering each of the 5 topics, plus an additional section providing answers to questions that could not be captured under any of the topics. Alternatively, you can download the FAQs as a PDF document. You are welcome to visit the page or download the document and, if you have a question which is not covered in the FAQs, you are encouraged to add a comment directly under the FAQs page (be aware: you need to create an account on Communities4Dev in order to be able to make a comment).
If the answers to the FAQs are not sufficient and you need additional support, check out these additional resources:

Great summary of a very interesting event hosted by Davide PigaRaymond Malcom Eisenberg and Ilaria Urbani. I especially liked the Questons and Answers Session by Ray, and the segment by Ilaria, sharing how IFAD was about to translate and adapt World Bank Group CoP tools to meet the needs of their emerging cluster of communites of practice:) Davide did a great introduction to the new CoP Toolkit, thanks to all it was a very useful event.
