Knowledge management for development in 2020: let your imagination fly!

The December issue of the KM4D Journal will be covering the future of KM4D. In this issue, we would like you to use your experience and imagination to write about where you would see KM4D (the field) or KM4Dev (this community) in the future, or where you fear it might be going. You can focus on a field of practice, such as facilitation, communities of practice or evaluation, or on a theme or sector, such as KM4D related to big data, food and nutrition security, agriculture and rural development or ICTs, or covering local, regional or continental perspectives. Or you can try to cover the whole field, linking it to predictions about the state of development, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, or of knowledge management. Technological predictions for our field are also welcome.

Contributions can cover emerging trends, technologies, political developments, organisational aspects, etc. We hope to see a rich range of contributions, including a combination of personal reflections and papers. Full details of the Call for Papers have been uploaded but the first deadline represents submission of an abstract of a proposed contribution to the email address km4dj-editors@dgroups.org by 3 July 2015. Kindly note we welcome contributions in English, French and Spanish.

The Guest Editor team for this issue comprises:  Kemly Camacho, Pete Cranston, Sarah Cummings, Charles Dhewa, Ivan Kulis and Nancy White.
