Partners to implement the Multiple Use Systems programme
Partners to implement the Multiple Use Systems programme
The majority, but not all, of the other partners in this US$ 1.5 million programme are from outside the domestic water sector: Natural Resources Institute (NRI), (UK), International Development Enterprise (IDE), (USA and India), Inetrnational Centre of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) (Colombia), CINARA (Colombia), Mekkele University (Ethiopia) , Mvuramanzi Trust (Zimbabwe), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), (Kenya), Khon Kaen University (Thailand), and Population and Community Development Association (Thailand).
IRC partner CINARA contributed to the meeting and will coordinate the work in the Andean "virtual basin". Other IRC partners are also likely to be involved in various aspects of the work.
IRC leads dissemination and scaling-up
IRC's Patrick Moriarty will lead on disseminating information and preparation for scaling up successful lessons. He chairs the Steering Committee on this aspect, although all partners will be directly involved. As a co-convener of the global Thematic Group on Productive Uses of Water at the Household Level, he facilitates the contacts with this group. Other lead organisations will facilitate contacts between the project and partners and web sites they are already familiar with, leading to the formation of a global learning alliance.
IRC will support both national and global learning alliances through the design of platforms to share information about models and guidelines, using we bsites, publications, policy briefs and advocacy material in user-friendly format (text versions, CD, video, electronic). All the partners will use their own publicity channels for further dissemination.
