3 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction Objectives: Collect complete data on all information/knowledge products to date from the PACC project Define information/knowledge goals for the remainder of the project Review communication activities (KM output) in 2013 workplans, and support needed to achieve results Revise communication plans

4 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction KNOWLEDGE MGT INFO COMMS LEARNING

5 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction KM in the context of PACC Knowledge is at the heart of adapting to climate change To adapt, people need information/knowledge: know what to expect know what options are available able to make the best decisions (at all levels) Therefore strong emphasis on KM in the PACC project (outcome 3, but also inherent in outcomes 1 and 2)

6 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction Communication planning in PACC so far Overall project communication strategy: Three thrusts : Project promotion/visibility Social change (public participation, information and advocacy) Operational/internal communications Individual country project communication planning

7 Knowledge and the PACC project: Agenda Country project communication plans (2012) Objectives Key messages Target audiences Partners Media strategy Formats/channels Activities/products Monitoring and evaluation/indicators Action plans/timings/costings

8 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction Feedback Project visibility Social change? Internal communications?

9 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction Mid-term review High priority on information and knowledge management: foster and establish PACC as primarily a learning and knowledge-sharing mechanism all executants should become creatively pre-occupied...with the technical knowledge that is being generated and used by the project, and systematically develop PACC to function primarily as an information management system, integrated thoroughly with a broader network of information systems, across Executing Agencies, sectors and programs At the least, each PACC project executants should record and organise the information materials s/he prepares so that they are readily stored and retrievable from the national-regional system

10 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction PACC Gender Assessment (Sarah Whitfield) To date, PACC knowledge products and IEC [information, education and communications] material has not been developed in order to promote gender equality or address strategic gender interests within the context of climate change.

11 Knowledge and the PACC project: Introduction Logframes and annual workplans (2013) KM outputs and activities defined Emphasis changing to technical knowledge Outputs: Demonstration guidelines Best practices, lessons learned Case studies Briefs/briefing papers Newsletters Education materials Awareness materials...

16 Knowledge and the PACC project: Next steps Build on experiences Clarify goals of information and communication activities for remaining period of the PACC project Align communications goals and activities with logframes and workplans

17 Knowledge and the PACC project: Next steps Goals 1 year ago: Results and lessons from the PACC Project are shared regionally and globally Bring together knowledge generated through the project as the basis for a strategic regional approach to climate change adaptation among PICT To enhance the resilience of PICT to the impacts of climate change Are these still the goals?

Revise your communication plan to align with annual workplan. Focus on: Purpose/desired outcome Audience Key messages Appropriate format/channel Appropriate product/activity (packaging) Indicators of success Keep it realistic, re time and other resources
