I am the Knowledge Sharing and Uptake Specialist at the International Water Management Institute, working directly within research projects to support their efforts to improve impact through enhancing knowledge sharing (both ways) and facilitating greater uptake of research results. I work alot on finding positive ways to engage with, learn from and share with a wide variety of stakeholders. I previously lead the ICT-KM Knowledge Sharing in Research project (2007-2009) and in this project learned alot about use of Web2.0 including blogs--which i now love!!Read more about me in my profile
