2. Cap-Net experiences and some results.
3. Reflections and conclusions.
1. Water security in a changing world
Hoff, H. (2011)
IWRM and responses
� Water, energy and food security
� Revisiting of frameworks like IWRM and
INRM to resonate with the new complexities
� Stronger institutions that are better
interlinked
� Increasing level of complexity
� New knowledge, datasets, analytical tools
and consistent data sets
� Capacity development and social learning
Can networks be part of the solution?
What have we learnt from networks like Cap-Net?
Why networks
� Assembling skills and knowledge from
different disciplines (multi and trans)
� Building a critical mass of competence for
action
� All this leading to rapid development,
adaptation and transfer of knowledge

outcomes and impacts?Did we bridge the gender gap?

How could this picture look if a full
range of topics were available at the
same time ?
Monitoring, evaluation and learning
� Attribution is a problem in Monitoring and
Evaluation especially for CD where results can
be long term fuzzy
� Cap-Net has monitored:
• Outcomes of courses through participant follow up
• Effectiveness of networks through self assessments
using network management and governance indicators
Participants application of knowledge
Some responses not substantiated
by organisations or linked to existing
HR strategies and business plans?
