This document discusses knowledge and awareness (K&A) and capacity development (CapDev) work packages for the Water and Climate Programme (WCP). The K&A work package aims to ensure GWP provides cutting-edge knowledge to support integrated water resources management for water security and climate resilience. It will capture existing knowledge, generate new evidence-based knowledge, and disseminate information to stakeholders. The CapDev work package will build capacity for government planners and GWP teams to develop investments that enhance water security and climate resilience. It will develop training materials and provide on-the-job support to practitioners. Both work packages establish indicators to monitor outcomes such as the number of knowledge products dissemin

2. Knowledge and Awareness (K&A) Overview
• This package will ensure that GWP will be a provider of
cutting-edge knowledge aimed at supporting the
application of IWRM for water security and climate
resilience.
• Capturing existing knowledge
• Facilitating the generation of new evidence-based
and local context-specific knowledge
• … to ensure that the network continues to support
countries and deliver on the implementation of WCP.

3. Overall Objective (K&A)
• Institutions and stakeholders access and use
information and knowledge
• Share, package and disseminate information
and knowledge on how to enhance water
security and climate resilient development
• Ensure effective communication with
stakeholders to enhance understanding of
issues
3

4. Key Outputs (K&A)
4
• Enhanced understanding of the importance of investing
in water security and climate resilience at all levels
• Communication Strategy for water security and climate
resilience
• Articles on water and climate in media
• Information readily available in print and electronically
• Tools developed to support WCP implementation
• Policy briefs, fact sheets, briefing notes on key issues
and outcome stories

5. Types of Activities (K&A)
5
• Regions develop WCP communication strategies and
relate to other regional comms strategies
• Ensure Comms/KM capacity in regional secretariats
• Engage journalist networks and media (e.g., training,
participation in stakeholder workshops)
• Experts in RWP and CWPs (+strategic allies) support
development of knowledge products
• Build relationships with Parliamentarians and organise
Inter-Ministerial Roundtables
• Engage national CC negotiators to raise water’s profile

11. Capacity Development
Work Package 6 –
Water and Climate Programme
28 August 2013, Regional Days

12. Capacity Development (CapDev) Overview
• This package will provide capacity for delivering all the
other work packages.
• Primary target: government planners across ministries
• Secondary target: GWP regional and national teams;
and other regional and national stakeholders such
regional economic communities (RECs), river basin
organisations (RBOs), development banks, non-
governmental organisations (NGOs), development
partners and academic institutions.
12

13. Overall Objective (CapDev)
• Institutions and stakeholders have enhanced
capacity development
• Ensure there is capacity in the countries to
develop no/low regret investments and integrate
these into national development planning
processes.
• Increase awareness and understanding of tools
that are used to develop these investments.
13

14. Key Outputs (CapDev)
14
• Capacity Development plan developed
• Training material developed
• Reports on outcome of the capacity building
activities with clear indicators for the capacity
that was built
• Report on local institutions and regional climate
change centres which show enhanced capacity
through clear indicators

15. Types of Activities (CapDev)
15
• Consultant and regional teams work to identify needs
• Consultant working with CapNet (and other relevant
service providers) with input from regions develop
training material
• GWP Teams trained during the development of the
training materials – as piloting
• Regional Teams trained to cascade training into
countries
• Local experts provide on-the-job support to practitioners,
identifying and prioritising no/low regrets investments for
WCP

16. Indicator
Number of government institutions/other stakeholders with
demonstrably enhanced capacity to integrate water security and
climate change in the design and implementation of policies, plans &
projects
Results which demonstrate that capacity has been developed among staff of government
institutions/other stakeholders, i.e. results which show with a reasonable degree of
certainty that organisations have gained from (rather than simply been exposed to)
capacity building activities
