JCP Communication Strategy

The general objective of the JCP is to carry out a long term knowledge sharing and capacity building Programme between Bangladeshi and Dutch institutes in the water sector. The goal is to increase the knowledge base of all the institutes involved and to strengthen the capacity of institutes in Bangladesh to plan, develop and manage their (marine and fresh) water resources systems. The capacities targeted under JCP include water system knowledge, data management, decision-support and impact forecasting, but also the capacity for cooperation, institutional development and governance within Bangladesh and with Dutch water knowledge institutions. Achieving these goals will support the contribution that the Netherlands water sector can make to Bangladesh, with direct benefits in on-going Programmes and with a view to secure long term funding for knowledge development from a range of funding agencies such as the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, GiZ, DFID and others.
The goal of the JCP is to establish long term knowledge sharing and capacity building between Bangladesh and the Dutch knowledge institutes, in support of improved Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), and flood and drought management, urban water management and adaptive delta planning in support of the BDP.
