A workshop for CGIAR communications professionals will take place next week at WorldFish Center, in Penang, Malaysia. From March 23 to 26, some 20 participants from 14 CGIAR centers, the Secretariat and the Alliance will meet to:

1. Provide input into communications during the CGIAR reform process and consider the role and scope of communications in the new CGIAR.
2. Identify means, incentives and specific opportunities to strengthen our collective communications.
3. Develop a Work Plan for Collective Communications through 2009.
4. Identify a set of news story ideas that will provide a focus for CGIAR media outreach over the next year.

The Institutional KS project will support this event with facilitation, documentation and some social media hands-on sessions. ICT-KM Program leader Enrica Porcari will also participate with the objective to contribute to the vision of the new role of Communication in the renewed CGIAR and share the program experience in making information available and accessible.
