This workshop will provide a forum to discuss local content management and how its influence on policy can be enhanced. Through group discussions, participants will exchange experiences with the objective of suggesting a number of recommendations on how local content management can be improved to ensure higher influence on policy.

At the end of this workshop participants will:

• have a better understanding of how content is managed within other institutions and countries;
• have identified different tools and methodologies for improving content management and promotion;
• have identified a number of recommendations for improving content management and influence.

Process

Preparatory work by participants
