Programme prospectus
The main goal of the seminars
is to expose irrigation professionals of one country to the irrigation
sectors of other countries, thereby broadening their world view. This is
accomplished by bringing together experts and practitioners from different
countries and having a number of them deliver a presentation on one aspect (that
year's seminar theme) of an irrigation system in the seminar. Seminar
participants are also given time to network and exchange their individual
experiences and beliefs on a one-on-one basis.

Brief description of institution/organization
The
International Network on Participatory Irrigation Management (INPIM) is a global
network for the promotion of people, public, private partnerships in irrigation
and water resources management. The Network is non-profit and registered in
Washington DC, USA. INPIM was first launched at the First International Seminar
on PIM in Mexico, by staff of the World Bank.
The participants of this seminar felt the need to remain in
touch with each other and exchange ideas and expertise in the area of PIM. For
this reason, they established a network with its own identity that would assist
them in pursuing this goal. Ever since its constitution, INPIM has been actively
promoting the concept of participatory irrigation management through
international seminars, training programmes and newsletters. It closely works
with the World Bank. The network has over a 1 000 members who are actively
involved in the irrigation sector. |
