The Knowledge Network for Water and Development was hosted by DWF in cooperation with the International research School of Water resources FIVA in the periode 2004 - 2012. The network promoted knowledge and research as important elements in Danish development assistance. The Knowledge Network was established by the end of 2003 to enhance the exchange of knowledge in the water sector, create synergy and support the technical quality in Danish development aid. The focus was within Danida water sector programs as well as in sector programs where water is an issue, e.g. agriculture, environment, and health. From 1st of February 2007 the Knowledge Network received a new grant to continue the activities for the period 2007-2009, but with enhanced focus on facilitation of research cooperation between researchers from Denmark and partner countries. We also worked towards inclusion of research in the Danish development aid, sharing of knowledge between North and South and activities in support of improved research capacities in partner countries.
The network comprised individuals and organizations representing the broad spectrum of the water sector: NGO's, ministries, authorities, private companies and universities.
The networks had jointly applied for funding from the Danish Council for Development Research in order to secure travel stipends for Master's Students field work and cooperate on meetings, workshops, and other activities of mutual interest.
