The CGIAR network of agricultural research centres has set up 15 ambitious research programmes (CGIAR research programs).
This week, with a group of about 45 people staff from those programs will be working on various aspects of knowledge management and communication for those research programs. This (repeat after me…) kmc4CRPs workshop will have participants focus on five main themes:
- Internal communication
- Knowledge sharing and learning
- Co-creating knowledge locally (and getting research into local use)
- Communicating for policy impact
- Scaling up and out of research
Under these main themes, various ‘building block’ sessions will zoom in on specific aspects of the work. And hands-on tool sessions will get some practical guidance for how to go about the tools to support our building block activities.
At the end of the week the group hopes to have various useful insights and recommendations which can be applie in a somewhat better coordinated/more consistent way across those research programs.
This week promises to be rich so there might be quite a few blog posts coming out of this workshop (which I’m partly facilitating), including interviews from interesting people…

Toooooooo much!
