The document discusses knowledge management in the Niger River Basin project. It covers three main topics: knowledge capture, organization, and sharing/impact. For knowledge capture, it lists the types of data being collected, including demographic data, country indicators, agricultural statistics, climatic predictions, and hydrological time series data. It provides examples of the types and quantities of hydrological data being recorded. The document emphasizes organizing the large amount of data being collected but does not provide details on the organization strategy. It does not discuss how the knowledge will be shared or what impact is expected.

11. Knowledge organisation
o Confidentiality levels
– Varying levels for varying categories of users
BFP NIGER - Jean Charles CLANET & Andrew OGILVIE – IRD/G-EAU

12. Knowledge sharing & Impact
Why and for whom?
o During the project
– For homogeneïty across Work Packages (&BFPs): website, wiki,
bluedocs
– For visibility: website
o Beyond the project
– For reference & information: website
– For recommendations to:
– CPWF community
– Regional level (ECOWAS)
– Countries
– Basin authority
– NGOs/CBOs/CSOs
– Farmers
– Research centres, universities
– Donors, investors…
BFP NIGER - Jean Charles CLANET & Andrew OGILVIE – IRD/G-EAU

13. Knowledge sharing & Impact
Dissemination and upscaling
o “Passive”
– Website (but need to attract them first) & database
– Reports (read?)
– Articles
o “Active” – distributed, targeted dissemination
– Workshops, meetings (scientific, political, IWRM)
– Synthesis reports, maps as DVD/interactive GIS/atlas
– Training – professional and higher education
– Posters, billboards, flyers
– Local media (TV, radio)…?

14. Knowledge sharing & Impact
Associated issues
o Content according to target group (role, interest to
them, level of understanding, age)
o Language
o Visual messages
o Consistency/concerted efforts across the scale
o Time and money…
