Description: This presentation will discuss the overall goals of the African Development Bank SANKOFA Program to transform the current business practices where documents have been created and stored mostly on personal computers, reviewed and approved using email and hard copies, and shared as email attachments. The Bank-wide program is breaking down these silos and implementing common business processes among and across business units, regions and country offices. The program is building a shared online collaboration and document repository that facilitates the Bank’s achievement of its top priorities—The High Fives: Light up and power Africa, Feed Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Affrica, and Improve the quality of life for the people of Africa. This presentation describes the SANKOFA business classification and metadata scheme that enables information disclosure, protects sensitive materials, and integrates knowledge in the business processes. Presented by Joseph Busch, Taxonomy Strategies’ principal analyst at the DCMI 2024 Best Practices Session in Toronto on October 20, 2024.
