FRAMEweb began in 2003 as part of a wider USAID research and communications initiative focused on Africa. With its roots in Africa, FRAMEweb has become a global network serving three languages.
Today, FRAMEweb is part of USAID's Capitalizing Knowledge, Connecting Communities (CK2C) Program managed by Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) and its partners, Academy for Educational Development (AED) and Training Resources Group (TRG). CK2C has four main activities supporting knowledge management in the Natrual Resource Management sector - Assessing and Analyzing Natural Resources Management Successes; Web-based tools for Building Capacity and Communities; NRM Competency-based Training for USAID staff; and Biodiversity Reporting and Communications for USAID.
