Institutional knowledge --- Thanks Jaime, Etienne and Sepideh. One of the biggest problems technology has given us is the loss of paper files which used to be the easiest reference points for institutional memory and knowledge. The ICRC is, I think, the only humanitarian organisation which has maintained good archives and one of our persistent hopes is that others will also budget for archives. Until then, we have to rely on some people keeping memories alive.
