Water Management Groups, Bangladesh

Project / Initiative Name

Water Management Groups, Bangladesh

The project name is originally ‘Accelerating Horizontal Learning Process in Bangladesh: ICT as Force Multipliers’. The aim of the proposed intervention is to boost the Horizontal Learning processes through the systematic use of ICT tools– specifically social media and basic videos-- and in the process to strengthen the network of Water Management Groups (WMGs).

The proposed intervention will strengthen and accelerate agricultural learning in select polders in Bangladesh, by boosting Horizontal Learning among Water Management Groups (WMGs), using ICT.

The intervention will integrate peer-to-peer learning with modern media and communication tools to accelerate the ongoing horizontal learning activities in Blue Gold, taking it to the next self-sustaining level.

With more and better quality information available, farmers will be able to take collective action and be better equipped to improve their productivity, identify business opportunities, link with input suppliers, and boost their incomes.
