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
The main goal of the Shiraka Water Management training programme is to provide those who are working in the field of Water Management with the opportunity to build their knowledge and skills, in turn enabling them to lead and inspire the modernisation of Water Management in their home countries. The course also aims to strengthen participants’ ties with the
