On 13-14 June 2012, a consultative workshop of more than 30 stakeholders in the SADC water sector, will take place at at the University of Botswana, one of the Centres in the Southern African Network of Water Centres of Excellence.
During the workshop, the NEPAD Southern African Network of Water Centres of Excellence (SANWATCE) wish to consider the key components, benefits, means and actors to develop an integrated and sustainable regional programme to address capacity development for the water sector. The development of Centres of Excellence has been seen as strategic by the African Union for focusing science on sustainable development and water was chosen as one of the flagship programmes to take this policy forward. The workshop will take place in Gaborone on 13-14 June
The objective of the workshop is to explore ways and means to further enhance capacity development towards water security in the Region. Specific areas we are hoping to engage with you and other key water sector stakeholders from the region are:
- Various water sectors’ capacity needs/priorities;
- Main technical/scientific priorities (thematic areas) of Member State countries;
- Discuss potential emerging methods of dialogue, awareness raising and coaching;
- Evaluate the benefits of a unified regional water Knowledge Management System ;
- Discuss the Sector Wide Approach and other means of implementing IWRM principles; and
- Get further input to five country seminars planned for August.
The event is by invitation only as a limited number of delegates can accommodated.
