Knowledge capture

BFP data sources
o National ministries (Water, Agriculture), Water boards

o Basin authority

o Research groups: Agrhymet, IRD, CRU, SEDAC, IPPC

o Existing databases: FAOSTAT, DHS Survey, SIEREM

BFP data format
o Time series, tables, graphs

o Articles, grey literature

o Maps, GIS layers


Knowledge capture

Associated issues
o Confidentiality and payment

o Resolution

o Scope (time & space)

o Compatibility, Homogeneïty

o Quality/fiability


Knowledge organisation

Database (J-F Boyer)
o BFP Niger database and website System Architecture

o www.bfpniger.eu



o Layout and structure
– Working documents
– Documents
– Data



o Functions
– Google Earth
– Interactive GIS - Map Server/cartoweb Server
• Web server
Client (IIS)
HTTP request • Mapping interface
Web browser
(Mozilla, Internet (Cartoweb)
Explorer…) • Mapping server
HTML page (Mapserver)
• Data base
(PostGIS)



o Confidentiality levels
– Varying levels for varying categories of users


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…



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)…?



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…
