"This publication responds to the increasing need for organisations to think and plan strategically about managing and using their information and knowledge resources in an efficient and effective manner. Lack of strategy for information and knowledge management was identified as a major gap when CT

A conducted a series of needs assessment studies across the ACP regions to gain an insight into the needs and capacities of various actors in the agricultural and rural development sector. Further gaps were observed due to lack of information sharing and dissemination approaches within institutions, making it difficult for organisations to learn lessons from past practices and effectively plan, monitor, and evaluate their activities. The studies covered hundreds of agricultural and rural development (ARD) institutions and consultations were held with senior policy-makers and planners from a wide crosssection of institutions. The need to help organisations develop and implement an information and communication management (ICM) strategy emerged as the top priority, which bodes well with CTA’s current emphasis on integrating knowledge management (KM) with ICM, as reflected in its new strategic plan. Based on a thorough review of what had been done in this area, CTA embarked on the development of two publications – a Facilitator’s guide and a User’s manual – in collaboration with ICM and KM practitioners. The exercise involved writing, organising regional methodology validation and training of trainers workshops in the Caribbean, Pacific, Southern, West and Eastern Africa. The manuals are the output of a highly collaborative and consultative process aimed at filling a clearly identified need. The manuals stress the importance of teamwork, consultation and getting the buy-in of all stakeholders who will be affected by and involved in the actual crafting of the ICKM strategy. They examine implementation, monitoring and evaluation issues with useful tips and tricks." (Foreword, page vii)

Por otro lado, intentamos compartir la idea de que la comunicación no es solo un asunto de comunicadores. Por lo tanto, deberíamos incorporarla como un componente estratégico y transversal en el quehacer de nuestras organizaciones, de modo tal que pensemos y actuemos comunicacionalmente. Desde esta perspectiva, este manual incluye criterios éticos y metodológicos, así como herramientas prácticas para construir estrategias de comunicación desde las organizaciones que están articulando la ética y la misión cristiana con el cambio social y la incidencia en la solución de los problemas estructurales de nuestra sociedad."

It is crucial therefore that the organisation is crystal clear about the unique brand of knowledge and services it delivers in the field of science 'at the intersect of poverty and livestock' - and

up-front about its track record in delivering results. Purposeful and strategic communication around issues that ILRI has the reputation to speak about, and that resonate with current - and emerging - debates, is the key to being heard and advancing the position and potential of livestock farmers globally. The organisation has established for itself a professional brand and impressive publishing record for communicating its diverse research products and thinking 'in real time'. A two-pronged process of embedding strategic communication in all research programmes (through a combination of incentives and quality assurance protocols) and being more focused and strategic on key target audiences and issues, will create the necessary conditions for ILRI to effectively communicate its research. This process requires not so much radical overhauls as clear stewardship, leadership and support from management to enable more strategic communication to be required where it is absent, and to flourish where it is latent."

By ensuring a match in how you present your identity and how you are perceived by key audiences, communication for profile raising can help build trust and credibility." (Policy pointers, page 1)
