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

Since 1997, CIHEAM/IAMB has successfully been running its course on PIM at Bari, Italy. Experts from several countries in the region are attending the course and this is an important sign that both donors and official government authorities, not effectively acting in the promotion of the PIM approach, are now better recognizing its importance in the development of the water resources and are envisaging the required measures.

A workshop on water valuation and cost recovery mechanisms in the developing countries of the Mediterranean region was carried out in 2003 in Morocco in cooperation with the other CIHEAM institutes and the co-sponsorship of the World Bank through the financial support of their experts. This workshop can be repeated upon request.

Brief description of institution/organization
The Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (IAMB) is one of the four Institutes that make up the Centre International de Hautes Etudes Agronomiques Méditerranéennes (CIHEAM), founded in 1962 as an inter-governmental organization under the auspices of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development).

The CIHEAM mandate is to be an instrument of cooperation between the countries of the Mediterranean in the areas of postgraduate agricultural education and the promotion of agricultural research through cooperative networks. Currently, CIHEAM comprises 13 member countries: Albania, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey.

Over four decades of activity, CIHEAM has become recognized for excellence in the field of education and research in agriculture, water-resource management, agri-food industry and the environment, working in partnership with the specialist national institutions as well as in cooperation with the international organizations active in the region (e.g. ICARDA, FAO, OADA, etc.).
