| Title | Role of United Nations Population Fund in the Middle Level Income Countries |
| Summary | United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is in the middle of revising its strategies and work practices to better fit the needs of the Middle Income Countries (MICs). UNFPA has developed a Strategic Plan for the period of 2014-2017 on UNFPA activities in MIC countries where it places knowledge transfer and knowledge brokering as one of its key roles. Nevertheless, there is an inconsistency between the proclaimed goals and internal strategies and policies of separate UNFPA offices specifically to knowledge brokering. This thesis develops a framework that UNFPA should adopt in order to carry play role of a knowledge broker. This framework is developed based on the reviews the theories behind knowledge brokering and knowledge transfer as well as evaluation of UNFPA’s current practices. The framework contains key elements, capacities and functions of knowledge brokering and the assessment of how they fit into exiting UNFPA programme practices and staff profile at country and regional level. |
