What is a “Wiki”?
• A wikiis an online space, consisting of a collection of Web pagesdesigned
to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content.
• Wikis are often used to create collaborativewebsitesand to empower
communities, such as ours around the program shift, to share and build
knowledge together.
• A well-known example of a very successful wiki is the collaborative
encyclopedia “Wikipedia”(www.wikipedia.com).
The goal of our P-shift Wiki is to serve as a global platform
for all of you who are leading the program shift in CARE
to share knowledge around the program shift
The success of our wiki will depend on the contributions
you make, and your commitment to visiting it to connect to
and learn from others
