Shiraka Water Management and Food Security Iran
Between 2020 and 2021, The Hague Academy delivered tailor-made training in Water Management and Food Security for Iran. The training was part of the Shiraka Programme. Initially planned to be held in a blended format, the course had to be adjusted to a fully online programme, considering the Covid-19 related travel restrictions.
Main goal
The overall aim of the training programme was to provide 30 Iranian water professionals, policymakers and researchers from public and private organisations with the skills to assess water governance and management in Iran while increasing their knowledge of the many linkages between water and food security.
“We (often) use to ignore the environmental part of Integrated Water Resource Management in our projects. I now understand and try to minimise the heavy toll that water extration can impose on the environment.” Jamshid Ghadermazi (Kurdistan Agri-Jahad).
Activities
30 water professionals from various organisations in Iran participated in the training, exchanged ideas and experiences with fellow professionals, discussed case studies from Iran, undertook virtual tours of Dutch innovations and best practices, completed individual and group assignments, directly interacted with international experts during live sessions, and prepared Back Home Action Plans for implementation in their own local contexts.
