Key Messages Day 2

• Roundtable

• Group discussion

• Formulating action axes for a capacity development plan

• Action Plan outcomes

ROUNDTABLE

• Need to facilitate adaptation: getting old guys onboard • Enabling environment: requirements, benefits• What technology are we talking about? To what extent?

Water related or any time of innovation?• Private sector involvement- startups especially in ICT world • University collaboration • Positive role models and mentorship:

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION

• What are the incentives and benefits of increasing capacity?• How to use technology to lower costs?• How can we use technology to build capacity? • Defined approach: agricultural and food security or beyond?• Try to make universities more current – start UPS and incubators

and then the students are already your trainers• Bringing youths into discussion and target groups, especially in ICT• Securing funding

Formulating action axes for a capacity development plan

What are we going to do? Act or ignore? Three levels which need to be addressed:

1. Individual:2. Organizational3. Enabling environment

Questions:

- Target audience? Primary, secondary, tertiary- Who pays?- Quality assurance?- Engaging private sector?- Monitoring and evaluation (impacts)?

Action Plan Questions

• WHAT - intervention/ product (title, target, audience, sector, gender, needs)

• HOW - product description (form, innovation)• WHO – roles (partnerships, what resources do they bring,

risks and how to mitigate them?)• WHY - M&E, benchmarking, tracking and tracing, impacts

Action Plan Outcomes

• WHAT– Filling knowledge gap– Accessibility in terms of usability and visualization– Sector: hydrological modeling, agriculture, urban water

demand, governmental administration – Linking Cap-Net to innovation – Target audience

Action Plan Outcomes

• HOW– Reduce data gaps– Transfer from science to real world:– Trust– Accessible communication / education– Suite of tailored short courses

Action Plan Outcomes

• WHO– User communities: institutions, farmer associations,

river basic committees, regional centers, governments – EAS, ITC, WMO, FAO, 3R, UNESCO IHE, IWMI – Universities– Start-ups – Foundations– Private sector – Basin authorities

Action Plan Outcomes

• WHY– Increase use of existing data– Enabling environment for analysis, decision making,

innovation (product development)– Improve water resource management efficiency and

productivity– Improve livelihoods – Measuring improved access, availability, affordability,

security (predictability)– Sustainability (efficiency)
