Critical+gaps+of+projects+and+potential+adjustments+(including+Gender+in+BDC+research)


 * Integration and communication within NBDC
 * Research into action
 * Local IP
 * Not platform
 * linkages
 * Thematic science gaps (gender, CC…)

=1. Integration and communication within NBDC=
 * Discussions are numerous between different ends, link to NBDC staff
 * What kind of outcomes do we expect from the project to national level plat forms, WG’s
 * Bilateral meeting between N3 + N4
 * Link the WG’s to the outcomes (OLM’s)
 * Focus meetings about the role of NBDC in the platforms
 * Find optimal methods of updating Nile project members (seminars, monthly meetings, yammers, WIKI, + formal)
 * Focus on outcomes overall more focused efficient meetings between different (+selected people) in the Nile projects (inputs from projects)
 * Clear mechanisms about how projects fit into one another
 * Nile project leader meeting?
 * Who sets the agenda for the regular monthly meetings
 * Cross-basin learning
 * R4D process learning

=2. Research into action=

Conventional approach to technology transfer


 * Linear

= = =3. Thematic science gaps (gender, CC…)=
 * IP’s
 * Health + nutrition WASH disease (WQ (N,P) – N4
 * Scenario development climate change (impact + adaption)vulnerability
 * Population drivers – size remittance
 * How do we integrate with CRP5 (1, 7)
 * Irrigation ?
 * FDI V Green economy
 * Governance – water rights/WUA - tenure (land)
 * Large scale poverty analysis
