The first phase of the TT-SSC not only generated a valuable universe of case stories in a very tight time frame, but also lessons learned on how to foster country-led and policy-relevant evidence. An essential conclusion is that developing countries are willing and capable to contribute their experiences and practices to global policy-making processes.
• Share your experience by writing a case story in an easy-to-use template, validated by dozens of Southern partners that have already uploaded their experiences to a web platform.
• Support the drafting of a deeper case study on one or several key challenges, to be commissioned to Southern academia
• Participate in the emerging Community of Practice of the TT-SSC which will discuss in events and on line the key challenges and the outcomes from the cases.
In order to bridge rigor and inclusiveness, the TT-SSC maintains two channels of analytical work. The case studies will look into critical areas and challenges of South-South knowledge exchange, involving a set of research methodologies to be conducted by Southern academia. As a continuity of the first phase of the TT-SSC, the case stories will enable partners to contribute their experiences in an easy-to-use template.
In line with the work plan 2010-2011, the TT-SSC will conduct 15 case studies covering all six key challenges. As soon as funding is available, the TT-SSC will launch regional calls for case studies among Southern universities and research institutes. As a general rule, the cases will be based on pre-identified case stories.
Member-ledCase studies
The TT-SSC members are invited to conduct case studies using the same methodology, but drawing on their own resources and networks. Before starting a case study, members should inform the TT-SSC, in order to ensure that the methodology has been adequately understood and will be correctly applied.
Case stories The call for case stories will remain open for all stakeholders interested in sharing their experiences in South-South knowledge exchange.
