Cooperation (Nairobi, Kenya, 11-‐13 September 2013) in KSMS, 12 September, 2013
There are 21 UNESCO Category 2 centres, 1 Category 1 centres and 28 Water chairs presently. However collaboration between centres is still weak and should be reinforced in order to take full advantage of the diverse expertise available and create synergies. For this reason, ICHARM director, Pr Takeuchi called for a lunch meeting on day 2 of the UNESCO strategic and high-‐level meeting on water security and cooperation in Nairobi (11-‐13September 2013) with IHP Secretariat. The chair of the meeting was ICHARM director Pr Takeuchi. The list of centres present is in Annex 1.
1. The chair called for one representative of each category 2 centre present to introduce him/herself and his/her centre.
2. The chair then emphasized on why this lunch meeting being only the second category 2 centres meeting ever hold was capital in order to galvanize cooperation and collaboration between category 2 centres and 1. And a way for the centres to collaborate more lies in initiatives like IFI (International Flood Initiative, Secretariat at ICHARM, Japan) and IDI (International Drought Initiative, Secretariat at RCUWM, Iran).
3. The chair introduced IFI, an initiative started in 2005 with core members UNESCO, WMO, UNU, UN-‐ISDR, IAHR, IAHS and ICHARM as secretariat.

4. IGRAC director reminded that when IGRAC was established in 2011, a letter of invitation to collaboration was sent to all centres but the response was the concern about the difference on area of interests. However the different centres have complementary focuses and interests and therefore, there is a need to set-‐up community of practices with a common platform.
5. IHP Secretariat shared that the new BKI (Business Knowledge Initiative) software was already available at UNESCO and was very soon going to be share to all centres. This BKI will enable to set-‐up a community of practices.
6. HidroEx director emphasized the need to have an updated list of emails and phone.
