Initiated in 2002, the East and Central Africa HR network is a vibrant community of practice which provides a mechanism for CO HR Managers across the region to share knowledge and best practices, work together to advance regional HR priorities, and to build a strong sense of community across the region. Despite many obstacles this network has worked hard to sustain and strengthen its momentum, focus, linkages, and ultimately its effectiveness over the past few years.

This case study highlights the experiences of the ECARMU HR Network and provides a synthesis of the key lessons learned on what it takes to create a sustainable regional network. A must read for any regional or global group seeking to build a sustainable network or community of practice on any topic. Available in English, French, and Spanish.
