Shiraka Water Management
Organised together with Wageningen Environmental Research and the VNG International local office in Egypt, this training focuses on the modernisation of water use. Which policies help to promote Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)? How is the Water Management system organised in the Netherlands? What can be learned from practical experiences in the participants’ countries? These questions and many others are discussed during the training programme.
Main goal
