About the interactive tools

The interactive tools can be used to find information resources and communicate with other registered users or with administrators:

1. Forum Discussions: any visitor can browse forum discussion but only registered users (see Register/Edit your profile) can post messages, share documents, send comments, etc.
2. Add a resource: any registered user can add a resource (text, multimedia documents, portals linking to maps and statistics, web sites, etc.) by submitting a simple form. The submission will be reviewed by an administrator before publication in the Knowledge Base. If you do not have the time to fill the form you can always ask an administrator to do it for you.
3. Register/Edit your profile: joining the Knowledge Base community is completely free and easy with a simple form to fill. Once registered the user can always update his/her profile to reflect some changes. They have the possiblity to post messages in the forum, browse the community directory or add resources.
4. Directory of registered users: they can browse this tool to discover who are the other registered members of the Knowledge Base and use their details to contact them directly. The community is meant to gather national and international experts supporting effective SLM practices in Africa and who seek to share their knowledge, resources, ideas and experiences in this domain.
5. Ask an administrator: anyone can send comments, suggestions or questions using a simple form. The administrators will be informed by email and will anwser the users within the next 48 hours.
