Brief description of institution/organization
The
International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI) was founded
in 1955 as an independent, non-profit institute under The Netherlands Ministry
of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries, with the mandate to collect and
disseminate knowledge for better and sustainable, use of land and water
resources, especially in developing countries.
In performing its mandate, ILRI's core activities are to
undertake applied research on the sustainable development of irrigated
agriculture. The results of such research are published in the series of ILRI
publications and in papers, scientific journals and conference proceedings; to
hold annual, post-graduate training courses on irrigation, drainage and related
subjects; to provide technical support and specialist advisory services to
irrigation and drainage projects abroad. Since 1960, ILRI has been conducting
annual post-graduate courses on irrigation and drainage for scientists and field
engineers in mid-career. ILRI presents its courses in such a way that
participants can easily apply what they have learned directly upon their return
to their home country.
ILRI offers three types of courses:
- Annual courses on the core activities of the
Institute. The longest running of these courses is the International Course on
Land Drainage. More than 1 000 drainage professionals from around the world have
participated since the first session in 1962.
- Tailor-made courses that meet
the specific training needs of groups of engineers, either at ILRI or in the
home country. ILRI works with local research institutes, consultancy firms and
Government agencies to develop the content of these courses and attune it to the
local situation and conditions.
- Train-the-trainer courses that teach junior
engineers and staff of counterpart organizations the skills they need to
develop, plan and present their own tailor-made courses.
