Knowledge Access in Rural Interconnected Areas Network (KariaNet)
Abstract
This report synthesizes and compares knowledge mapping studies prepared for nine out of ten countries participating in KariaNet. Knowledge Access in Rural Inter-connected Areas Network (KariaNet) is the only regional network for the management (KM) and sharing of knowledge (KS) in agriculture and rural development. But the role of KariaNet is to only complement national KM/KS strategies – when they exist. It is therefore important to catalyze the emergence of KM/KS strategies in countries where the concept is absent (Sudan and Yemen). Sharing and learning from each other’s experience is vital in order to improve agricultural policy and extension services.
