The IPTRID Programme supports capacity development for sustainable agricultural water management and increased water productivity in agriculture, with a central focus on technology transfer and research uptake. Capacity development focuses on developing effective organizations within which individuals work on establishing an enabling institutional environment in which organizations and individuals can flourish.
Such process requires the assessment of existing capacities and future desired state in order to be able to identify the capacity gaps and plan strategies and actions designed to fill them and achieve the desired goals. Such strategies and actions take into account the existing learning basis.
To establish a reference for its new activities on capacity development with a special emphasis on technology transfer, The IPTRID secretariat decided to undertake a worldwide survey based on questionnaires sent to institutions/organizations in order to obtain a global overview of the available learning tools for professionals, technicians and farmers.
The programmes presented in this inventory are also available on line, on the IPTRID web site: www.fao.org/iptrid.
Objectives of the Inventory
The Inventory aims at providing information on activities that cover the typically applied instruments used in the process of training the stakeholders involved in irrigated agriculture management: classroom/field-based courses, distance learning, workshops/seminars, virtual networking, exchange programmes, etc. The specific objectives of the Inventory are to:
help readers find training programmes for improved irrigated agriculture worldwide;
provide relevant information on the type of programme, content, duration, target groups, etc;
provide institutes/organizations with the opportunity to introduce their programmes for improved irrigated agriculture and to reach interested applicants and a wide audience; and
provide relevant information on the institute/organization that runs the programme along with contact details.
Structure of the Inventory
One page is dedicated to each program presented. On the left column, the information concerning the programme itself is given, while the right column provides summarized details about the institution/organization running it.
The information is given according to the language of the responses received from the survey (English, French and Spanish).
The IPTRID Programme hopes that the Inventory will offer a useful service to those seeking information on the above-mentioned activities.
