Innovation is knowledge-intensive and requires greater information sharing/exchange
Access to research outputs is essential to address problems
Effective information use enhances innovation within and among communities
Greater use of information will accelerate rural development
Using Knowledge to power Innovation
![Page 3: The CIARD Movement: revisioning a global partnership for local benefit](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042813/54b48b1f4a795971678b45b8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Low investment in opening knowledge – organizations invest very little in communicating their knowledge by ensuring it is adapted to rural needs or even accessible on the Internet
Opening Agricultural Knowledge
We produce results, but what happens to them? It seems that much useful data and
information is not accessible and the farmers don’t seem to benefit
The Practical Dimension
![Page 4: The CIARD Movement: revisioning a global partnership for local benefit](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042813/54b48b1f4a795971678b45b8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

WHAT IS NEEDED
An integrated twin-track approach of good policy and practice
Capacity development – a cornerstone
A collective effort - adopt proven practices and tools
A coordinated approach will reduce costs and guide, train and motivate staff in research
organizations to make the results of research more accessible and usable

Other scientists will publish our results if we share them
Our institution has no policy on communicating its outputs
We have no systems and tools for Internet dissemination
There are no staff with the skills in
digital technologies
We don’t have time to adapt our results into the what extensionists want
