On the 7th February 2014, the Steering Committee of the Knowledge Platform on Water for Development has had a meeting in order to determine the scope of the platform. During this meeting, the committee discussed topics such as which focus countries to include in this project or how to establish the research agenda through co-creation.

The Knowledge Platform on Water for Development aims to strengthen knowledge-sharing and cooperation between organizations on water-related themes, including sustainability, climate issues, gender and good governance and to promote incorporation of available and newly developed knowledge. This new knowledge should be collected through active co-creation and crowd-sourcing to assure that the platform is demand-driven. This is an innovative approach and therefore needs to be discussed during the meeting on the 7th of February.

The meeting has taken place in the Rode Olifant Building of Spaces.
