Fostering of institutional

Enhancement of the capabilities of water
professionals.
Programme prospectus
Many institutions realize that
capacity building programmes are more effective if they are held locally. With
inputs from an organization such as WEDC, this is a cost-effective way of
developing human resources in the water, sanitation and waste management sectors
and bringing international best practice to national organizations and training
institutions.
WEDC has substantial experience in the design and delivery of
in-country training programmes in Africa and South Asia, including
capacity-building of local training institutions through partnership
development. WEDC prefers to design and facilitate programmes together with
local partners and clients. This is an important part of the capacity building
process, ensuring the understanding of client's perspective and that the local
organization is not just a recipient of a standard training package. This
partnership ensures that the programme design best meets identified
capacity-building needs.
If necessary, WEDC can be directly involved in capacity
building needs assessment exercises, prior to course or programme design.
Programme duration is flexible, to meet local requirements. Where appropriate
programmes are jointly facilitated with local training institutions. This
develops their capacities and balances WEDC's international expertise with local
insight and knowledge. Working with local providers is one method of delivering
programmes in the most suitable format.

Brief description of institution/organization
The
Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) is one of the world's leading
institutions concerned with education, training, research and consultancy
relating to the planning, provision and management of infrastructure for
development in low- and middle-income countries.
WEDC is devoted to activities that improve the health and
well-being of people living in both rural areas and urban communities. We
encourage the integration of technological, environmental, social, economic and
management inputs for effective and sustainable development.
WEDC has steadily increased its range of activities, level of
expertise and number of staff since it was founded in 1971. It now forms the
core of the Institute of Development Engineering, established in 1995 to reflect
the growth of new areas of professional interest that have broadened well beyond
the boundaries of water and sanitation engineering. |
