You can search for information either in a specific folder (experiences, bibliography, etc.) or simultaneously in all folders.

The Database's Different Files

The "Experiences and Practices" records. These records are the heart of the information system. They are structured to allow dissemination of the results of field experiences and analysis of their implementation, constraints, and difficulties encountered.

The "Organisations" and "Resource Persons" records identify the various stakeholders (donors, experts, producers, trainers, etc.),

The "Equipment and Technologies" records focus on tools and how to implement them, and techniques and equipment available locally.

The "Multimedia Documents" records contain images, photographs, equipment blueprints, etc.

The "Bibliography" records present selected reference documents and annotate their uses and target publics.


Simple, Advanced, and All Filess Searches

Simple searches: simple searches are carried out on a limited and pre-determined number of search fields. Only one search value can be indicated per section. When more than one search sections are filled in, the search operator "AND" is activated between the different values sought.

Advanced Search: The advanced search uses all the available search options: choice of fields to search and possibility to combine the search operators "AND", "OR", and "BUT NOT".

All files searches allow you to run a search on all 6 folders or on a sub-selection of 2, 3, 4, or 5 folders. Your search possibilities are restricted to the elements shared by all folders: the thematic reference list and the glossaries (keywords and geographic glossaries).


Navigation Bar

The navigation bar lets you know which folder you are in at all times and allows you to navigate easily from one record to another and from one search mode to another without returning to the home page. The active folder and/or search mode are highlighted.
