What is ProjShare?
ProjShare is where development projects live: the record of what's been tried, a working surface for what's next, and the practitioners who carry knowledge between the two.
Knowledge flows in from many sources
A ProjShare page draws together practitioner knowledge and materials, public data and records, and media coverage — one place where a project's whole story accumulates.
Example — automatically accessible through public data sources, including IATI and the World Bank
Ghana
More than 9,000 development activities reaching back to 1973 — health, democratic participation, agriculture and human rights, funded by a broad field: USAID, Sweden, Denmark and the UK's FCDO alongside CGIAR, GlobalGiving and multilateral programmes.

From record to living page
Records in Project Space can serve as the foundation for ProjShare project pages. The ProjShare page is where documentation and experience meet — and where knowledge moves between the people who hold it.
1 · Seed
Begin from the public record
Where a public record exists — through sources including IATI and the World Bank — core project information and key documents are imported automatically. Coverage varies by project; nothing already published needs to be re-entered.
2 · Enrich
Add what institutions rarely hold
Project teams extend the page with their own 'perspectives', public working documents like terms of reference and scopes of service, reports, photographs and media coverage — together with the context and lessons behind them.
3 · Exchange
Connect questions with experience
Ask and answer questions, participate in discussions, request comments on draft documents and connect with teammates past and present. Surface the critical tacit knowledge that formal reporting rarely captures.
A working surface for new work
Draft project pages, convene teams, discuss documents, and invite structured comment on work in progress — taking an idea from first outline to delivery, informed by what came before.
Create and browse project pages, articles, discussions and collections
Anyone can start a project page or collection, write an article, or open a discussion.
