Water-Wiki: an opportunity for UN-Water
This document analyses options for consideration and presents some recommendations on how best to take up the opportunity offered by the Waterwiki.net, which focusses primarily on water governance issues, including disaster management, e.g. food, health, environment, disaster prevention, energy, and crisis risk reduction.
It analyses the wiki concept, which allows registered users to input both their own information and to edit existing information with the potential of involving more members of the water community and of vastly increasing the body of knowledge available to all users of the internet.
UNDP is facilitating development and maintenance of waterwiki.net, several other members of UN-Water are already actively supporting the venture.
