Outcome 5: Knowledge and information, relevant for developing and implementing sustainable approaches to agrobiodiversity conservation, for shaping the necessary policy framework and for monitoring impact, is generated, shared and evaluated systematically

Knowledge and information are a key element of TABI as it faces the challenge of integrating and harmonising the efforts of different actors and intervention sectors and bridging spatial scales. A Knowledge and Information Sharing System System (KISS) will be developed in support of other TABI outcomes. The KISS will support TABI, its partners and other concerned actors through:

• Integrative analysis and planning processes with regard to agrobiodiversity conservation and sustainable use.
• Knowledge capitalization processes and policy dialogue, including multi-stakeholder learning processes and coherent monitoring. Knowledge sharing and information dissemination processes with partners and other interested networks in Lao PDR and beyond.

Stakeholders of TABI intervene at different levels, have different interests in agrobiodiversity issues, and have different potential influence    on  agrobiodiversity policy and management. This will be taken up by KISS in the elaboration of a respective Knowledge and Communication Strategy.
