This document outlines a framework for providing information and communication services within the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF). It discusses objectives like strengthening information sharing and addressing existing issues. It then presents a broad view of information and communication, focusing on learning, data management, and knowledge sharing. The document proposes a networked approach at multiple levels, from the program level down to individual projects. Finally, it outlines specific services that could be provided, such as internal sharing, supporting basins and programs, and influencing the global agenda.
