In 2024, the Dgroups Foundation was pleased to continue its partnership with IDRC, assembling a team of Associates to support the AQUADAPT initiative (Nature-based Climate Solutions in Aquaculture in Asia-Pacific). This ambitious four-year programme tackles the interconnected challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and food insecurity through applied research on nature-based solutions in aquaculture, with a focus on inclusivity for all genders and marginalized groups in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region.
Working closely with the AQUADAPT team and programme partners, the Foundation is designing an internal knowledge management platform to meet the initiative’s needs. The platform will enable:
- The collection and analysis of monitoring data across projects.
- Cross-programme peer learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
After completing a comprehensive and inclusive consultation and scoping phase, we are now developing the platform’s alpha version. Building on insights from our work on the CLARE KM Platform, we are refining the integration between WordPress (as a content management system) and groups.io to enhance collaboration and interaction.
The beta version of the platform is expected later this year, with the full release in early 2025.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue to support AQUADAPT in addressing these critical challenges through innovation and collaboration.
