employment, anticipating skills for green jobs, and
skills for disability inclusion, and will expand to
include all aspects of the G20 Training Strategy.
Similar to the Global KSP, the secure Social Protection
Gateway (www.social protection.org) provides
the user with a point of access to knowledge being
generated in agencies working on social protection
and incorporates the latest publications, news and
events. As per G20 DWG recommendations, the
Gateway will also focus on facilitating sharing of
and learning from the experiences of countries
through a networking platform. The prototype of the
Gateway is being tested with the aim of making it
fully operational in 2013.
Lessons Learned
While noting the value of online knowledge
platforms, several LICs have pointed out the
importance of face-to-face learning opportunities
as a more effective form of learning. The platforms
could review the option of incorporating and/or
strengthening the interactivity component. These
efforts will be dependent on the allocation of human
and financial resources for the implementation,
operation and maintenance of knowledge-sharing
platforms.

South-South Cooperation (TT-
SSC) and UNDP to recommend
how knowledge sharing
activity, including North-South,
South-South, and triangular

These recommendations should

knowledge sources, improve
brokering functions, strengthen
the dissemination of best
practices and expand funding
