IHP-IX 2.4. Development and sharing of new methods and tools to translate scientific information for education and policy-making.

Development and sharing of methods and tools based on new practices by the scientific community supported to translate scientific information into a format facilitating education, decision-making and policy formulation. 1. Production and dissemination of toolkits and e-learning modules including “Water science for policy”(similar to the current UNESCO Inclusive Policy Lab content but specific to water) for early to mid-career scientists, “Evidence-based water policy-making” for middle to upper level civil servants, managers, professionals, and advisers, and “Water education for inclusive outcomes and sustainable development”, translating scientific information for educators and skilled professionals and technicians in tertiary and vocational education. 2. Capacity building modules, training material, and communications tools on ensuring stakeholder trust and engagement in water management. 3. Establishment of a Community of Practice for scientists, policy- and decision-makers to ensure more efficient knowledge and information sharing and facilitate exchanges. 4. Integration/synthesis of e-learning on water topics (e.g. in UNESCO Open Learning, Open Water Network and others).
