The meeting in Ouagadougou enabled the regional core group to have a clearer idea of the virtual platform on IDM and prioritize actions that could be undertaken during the 2nd half of 2016 in order to trigger the feeding process of the platform. A consultant presented what the platform may look like to get the reaction of the stakeholders. Main concerns were on the institutional anchorage, the hosting of the platform in a data center, the data to be shared and the duration of the platform. The stakeholders then discussed activities to be carried before the end of the year.
The Project Manager used the occasion of the meeting of the core group to plan the participation of stakeholders in the working meeting that will adapt the Cap-Net training module on the drought risk reduction in the context of IWRM.
