A one-day training course in Dar es Salam, Tanzania Wednesday 20th, 2016.
Background: Transboundary water management is of great importance to Africa as it has been emphasized in the African Water Vision 2025. Almost all Sub-Saharan African countries share at least one international river basin. In Africa there are about sixty transboundary lake and river basins and at least eighty transboundary aquifer basins. A training manual has been complied by a network of partners, including AGW-Net, ANBO, BGR, Cap-Net, IGRAC, IMAWESA, IWMI, IGRAC, and A4A – aqua for all in response to the needs expressed and is designed to help develop capacity on groundwater management within the basin organizations.
The Course: The 6th AWW (http://africawaterweek.com/6/) that takes place in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) in July 18-22, 2016, will launch the manual, and at the same time implement a one-day training course on groundwater management. The course aims to: (1) promote sustainable groundwater resources management within the framework of IWRM in RBOs; (2) make groundwater resources in Africa more “visible” to water managers who are required to manage it sustainably; (3) raise awareness on the importance of groundwater resource to Africa, and especially in light of the growing impacts of climate change.
The Facilitators: The course has been able to attract a number of senior groundwater professionals as facilitators from Africa, ensuring a high degree of professionalism and up to date discussion of the topics and issues.
Participants: The workshop is targeting river basin and water Ministries staffs or high level profile actors in international/national Agencies and NGOs who are interested in water management.
Course Fees and Sponsorship: The fee for the course is US$100 to be paid by bank transfer or at the door. Prospective participants should apply by email before July 11th 2016.
