Some Observations of EcoGov knowledge prodcts to date

• Focused primarily on communications vs KM• KPs are mostly printed materials (static)• Strong sector orientation / bias – need unifying theme• Look and feel is donor project-driven• Could strengthen articulation of expected outputs - what

is the significance?• Distinguish users, intermediaries, target audiences etc• Define and establish dissemination strategy – “channel

development” • Introduce strategies for knowledge innovation• Give greater consideration to private sector participation (marketing communications)• Consider ‘spin offs’ and ‘multipliers’

CRConservation Result

Changing level of threatThe biggest direct threats to biodiversity health are:Poaching / Over fishing & Destructive Fishing Practices due to fishing in the MPAs.

These threats can be reduced when the MPA rules are actively enforced leading to an increase in arrests and prosecutions of intruders into the MPA. Also the Community Adults & Fishers voluntarily comply with MPA rules. This will result in less fish being taken from the MPAs.

15

Specific objectives Continue to refine KPs and build absorptive

capacity of key institutional hosts

Ensure that the primary partners of EcoGov adopt KP tools and instruments and scale up technical assistance to wider constituencies

Support complementary efforts to disseminate and institutionalize knowledge through a wide range of channels, networking, partnership development and public affairs initiatives

16

Key audiencesPrimary:

M/C/PENROs, M/C/PAOs, Planning and Development Officers, political leaders

Agents of change, influencing bodies, opinion and thought leaders, champions

Secondary:

General public – (segmented market)

17

Key messages

Primary: Since systems are interconnected, efforts to conserve biodiversity, and subsequent improved quality of life, need to be done within an integrated resource / ecosystem management framework

Secondary:(specific to sector or sub-sector)Good practices in septage treatment / management will reduce adverse effects of pollution and result in better health, reduced health care costs and can be financially sustainable
