Knowledge
Management Toolkit
for the Crisis Prevention
and Recovery Practice Area

Knowledge management in the Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR)
The Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery is the Practice Leader for crisis prevention
and recovery within the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A repository for
tools, methods, and experience, BCPR provides expertise on crisis issues to UNDP country
offi ces, regional bureaux, and headquarters. BCPR forms a bridge between the humanitarian
phase of a post-crisis response and the longer-term development phase following recovery.
BCPR is also an internal advocate for crisis sensitivity, working to ensure that UNDP’s longerterm
development policies and programmes build in opportunities for disaster reduction
and confl ict prevention.
As the crisis prevention and recovery Practice Leader, BCPR pays special attention to
knowledge management within this Practice Area. The BCPR Knowledge Management (KM)
Team is part of BCPR’s Central Strategy and Policy Cluster and works closely with BCPR’s
information technology team. Together they provide knowledge management tools and
advice to BCPR teams, colleagues, country offi ces and members of the Crisis Prevention and
Recovery Community of Practice. They also facilitate the Crisis Prevention and Recovery
Practice Network (CPRP-net) and manage the online Crisis Prevention and Recovery
Practice Workspace.
BCPR has also formed a bureau-wide Knowledge Management Group with a mandate to
ensure consistency and coherence of knowledge products, conduct Peer Reviews of planned
KM products and processes, monitor the use of knowledge products to determine their
impact, and advise on BCPR corporate KM activities, such as the CPR Practice Workspace.
