Workpackage 3 : information and communication system
Platform for African European Partnership in Agricultural Research for Development Phase II
To meet these objectives, the regional platform was built as a Web site that contains three distinct parts:
1 - A space "General Information", for everybody, whose aim is to present the User Led Process, the regional group and gives the group progresses in this process
2 - A space "Following User Led Process" for everybody, whose aim is to describe the different stages of this process and especially to post all information and results generated in these steps.
3 - An Intranet, which is accessible only to members of the group, and in which will be built collectively all the necessary documents to the steps of the Use-Led-Process.
2 - National workshops
3 - Regional Workshop
6 - The writeshop
7 - The research project These 7 steps User-Led-Process will naturally be represented by web pages in the three parts of the website regional platform.

INTRANET -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Discussion Forum It is in this space that all the discussions relating to the preparation and drafting of documents or information necessary for the User-Led-Process can be led. To avoid saturating the mailboxes of members of groups, discussions may be conducted directly in the forum installed on the platform. It is thus possible to maintain traceability of all decisions and discussions. Only discussions are concerned. Documents involved in these discussions will be deposited in the "Shared Documents" section of Intranet. Discussions are managed and classified according to the different stages of User-Led-Process as defined earlier in this guide, but members of the platform are free to add discussion topics if necessary.
Documents sharing It is in this space that will be stored all documents in preparation. This space is divided into directories, each directory corresponds to a step of the User-Led Process. Each member of the group has registered on his computer this directory structure. When an authorized user put a document on his own computer in this structure, then the system will automatically retrieve the document in the same directory on all computers in the group. And each participant has at any time locally on their computer the latest versions of shared documents. Documents are managed and categorized in folders that reflect the different stages of the UserLed-Process as defined earlier in this guide, but members of the platform are free to add the directories they deem appropriate.
