Programme prospectus
With the goal to promote good
governance and environmental sustainability in the Aral Sea Basin through the
development of a water resources training network and long-term international
cooperation at policy, management and operations levels, a five-year project has
began in March 2000 funded partially by the Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA). The establishment of the ICWC Training Center was the first step
in achieving project objectives, which foresees a combination of study tours,
seminars, courses and train-the-trainer programmes that aim to increase the
capacity of water management professionals at all levels from the grassroots,
through management to policy levels.
At the senior management level, workshops are held to build on
examples observed in Canada. Senior managers from each of the five countries of
the Aral Sea Basin (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kirgistan, Tajikistan and
Turkmenistan) are brought together to engage in discussions and activities.
Although the exact content of the discussions is a function of the interests and
specialties of the participants, topics encouraged include, but are not limited
to:
- Strategies to increase information and data
sharing between countries of the region
- Strategies to increase awareness of
each republic's particular water needs
- Strategies to promote the
development of an integrated water management system in the region
These seminars include those for advanced irrigated
agriculture and are within the framework of six modules: general issues,
economics of irrigated agriculture, irrigation, operation and maintenance,
amelioration and ecology and programming/modeling in irrigated
agriculture.
Target group: Senior level staff
