Knowledge Cycle. XXXX has emphasized an equal and mutually beneficial use of collaboration and learning as its guiding approach. While both elements will continue to be an important part of SALT, learning will take more primacy as a main function to support knowledge management. SALT acknowledges that knowledge management seeks to get the right information to the right people at the right time and in the right format. Complex work on global systems cannot survive sustainably without knowledge management. The knowledge management cycle is a process of transforming information into knowledge, which explains how knowledge is captured, processed, and distributed. Most importantly, it includes how knowledge is applied within a system. In order for SALT to apply its Principles to learn and improve the product, the team borrowed from the learning site strategy to develop a criteria for identifying application sites. SALT will select application sites ideally based on the following criteria understanding that key stakeholder groups and availability and access to sites will be a key determinant. Additional criteria could include: ● Key stakeholder groups - Countries where SALT can work with prioritized stakeholders including producer countries and industry. ● Geographic diversity - SALT is a global project that should reflect a broad geography of learning in order to share best practices and knowledge to promote change. ● Access to site, people, and operational support - Conducting learning trips takes substantial time and effort and SALT needs willing participants. Since FishWise does not have an existing presence in these countries, SALT will rely heavily on partners and existing projects in the learning sites, including USAID and partner foundation projects. The ability to identify support and expertise is a key factor for SALT. ● Comparable context - In order to promote cross-learning and best practices, learning sites must reflect the broad set of needs from different stakeholders. However, comparing industrial fleets’ use of eCDT versus fishing communities is not ideal for learning about best practices for either context. XXXX seeks to learn from each of these groups but the contexts for learning must be similar to do it effectively. ● Unique gender/disenfranchised/marginalized groups represented - SALT will work in a way that includes disenfranchised groups whenever possible. ● Contributions to sustainability of SALT’s work beyond the life of the project (per the SALT Sustai...
