This week, I attended an intense Outcome Mapping training at IDRC. I'm trying to apply what I learned right away. So I want to share with you a draft vision statement for our Knowledge Sharing initiative, which created and manages this website.

You can review what a vision statement should contain.
I found it hard to not include program elements or success indicators. I'd love to get your feedback.

Around the world, people working in and supporting telecentres are able to access the information, resources, and relationships they need to support community development. Where there is sufficient connectivity, telecentre activists participate enthusiastically in online communities — developing friendships, getting or providing answers, organizing and promoting events, engaging in discussions and debates, swapping resources, and sharing learning and experiences through email, blogs, images, video, and podcasts. Content flows between websites, email groups, and print materials, as well as between different language communities. People working at different levels, in different sectors, and within different parts of the telecentre ecosystem — from grassroots to global, private to public, and practitioner to donor — come to know and understand each other, build trust, and find ways to collaborate and coordinate. Activists share the practical tools and processes they develop in their day-to-day work in such a way that all members of the telecentre ecosystem can adapt, localize, or build on them — and then share alike so that others can do the same, creating a cycle of innovation. People are inspired to join the community. They are welcomed, connected, and supported. Activists build on each others' efforts and learn from each others' experiences. They are able to contribute to helping poor, marginalized, and remote communities in their efforts to gain political, social, and economic power.

Stay tuned for more. Next up is mission, boundary partners, and progress markers.
