KARIANET: Regional Network on Knowledge management and Knowledge sharing in rural development in MENA region
KariaNet, the network for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), was piloted in 2005 until 2008 as a multi-stakeholder partnership between IFAD, IDRC and IFAD-financed projects in the MENA region. KariaNet’s pilot phase sought to test and develop tools and practices that could advance learning and the exchange of experiences and knowledge assets among IFAD-financed projects, towards an overall goal of improving projects’ performance.KariaNet II builds on the achievements and foundations laid by KariaNet I towards integrating learning and knowledge management into development practice with a vision of enabling/empowering rural poor man and woman through knowledge in order to overcome poverty. The project aims at enhancing national and regional competencies and capabilities in knowledge management (KM) and knowledge sharing (KS) in agriculture and rural development through capacity building, applied research and pertinent networking activities on KM-KS.This Network, inspired by ‘open access principles’, seeks to empower its members, IFAD and IDRC funded projects, researchers, governmental agencies, NGOs and farmers ‘associations, through the use of ICT and non-ICT tools, to make knowledge available and timely accessible to the users. KariaNet aims to link up the knowledge providers and knowledge brokers with the knowledge seekers (two ways knowledge flow) through three thematic networks: i) food security, and ii) rural enterprise development and iii) knowledge management systems and practices in agriculture and rural development.
