Programme prospectus
Faced with a clear need for training related to PIM in the Mediterranean region, CIHEAM/IAMB worked with the World Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to develop a capacity-building programme for training in key countries embarking on PIM.

Since 1997, CIHEAM/IAMB has successfully been running its course on PIM in Bari, Italy. Experts from several countries in the region have attended the course. This shows that donors and government authorities now recognize the importance of the PIM approach in the development of water resources.

Training of trainees is another programme run jointly with the World Bank and IFAD at Bari. The programme included several brainstorming workshops to discuss plans, policies and strategies to enhance the PIM concept.
