Synopsis (short abstract) The new challenge of IPTRID is to cooperate with governments and funding institutions in assessing capacity development needs and in formulating sustainable agricultural water management strategies within the framework of Integrated Water Resources Management. To facilitate funding and implementation of capacity development programmes and projects with a central focus on thechnology transfer and the uptake of research results. Within the broad scope of the capacity development, IPTRID will thus act as a facilitator. Its niche is somehow the same as that of an architect, designing innovative solutions and helping to implement them in close cooperation with governments and funding agencies. IPTRID will meet this challenge by mobilizing expertise and resources through its wide network of knowledge institutions and resource centres.
