Problem Statement

How can we build a culture of learning and sharing to advance the UNFPA agenda?

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) sought our expertise to address challenges and define opportunities for improvement in their internal communications. They wanted to understand and enhance internal knowledge-sharing practices thoroughly. We provided fresh perspectives and qualitative research to understand better the dissemination and application of crucial information within UNFPA's operations.

Findings

I conducted qualitative user interviews to explore how UNFPA approaches internal information sharing. I then translated these insights into a journey map, identifying key moments and pain points within the knowledge management process.

Total Participants: 14 people

User Groups: Country, Regional and Headquarters

Presentation & Report

Design & Illustration

Findings were then translated into a comprehensive report and a presentation for delivery to the client. Working closely with a graphic designer, we created original icons and illustrations to help guide the reader through the document and tell the stories of those we interviewed.
