Programme prospectus
A five-year project was started
in March 2000, funded partially by the Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA). This goal is to promote good governance and environmental sustainability
in the Aral Sea Basin through the development of a water resources training
network and long-term international cooperation at the policy, management and
operations levels. The establishment of the ICWC Training Center was the first
step towards achieving project objectives, which foresees a combination of study
tours, seminars, courses and train-the-trainer programmes to increase the
capacity of water management professionals at all levels from the grassroots,
through management to policy levels.
Among these activities, short-term water transfer courses are
offered to middle managers, whose role is to promote institutional reform,
decentralization and demand driven management within water management
authorities (either government or agency-based). Some of the specific courses
include, but are not limited to: water user participation and formation of water
user groups, water laws and water rights, water pricing and cost recovery,
ecological and social aspects of water policy and integrated water resources
management.
Target group: Middle Managers
