Capacity Building

The capacity of countries, institutions and individuals will determine the success of our efforts to achieve sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals. A core part of SIWI’s mission is to build capacities for improved knowledge, networks and institutional processes for sustainable water resources management in developing countries. Through International Training Programmes in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Transboundary Water Management (TWM), the World Water Week in Stockholm, and a range of other activities, SIWI contributes to building capacity in the water sector.

In addition to the above Sida-funded, ongoing International Training Programmes; SIWI develops and implements basin or region specific programmes on request from other development partners. These include training for members of the Cunene and the Limpopo river basin commissions respectively, both funded by GTZ of Germany.

SIWI staff members are frequently invited to make presentations, give lectures or facilitate at various other water-related education and capacity-building events and programmes. These include as guest lecturers at universities such as Stockholm University and KTH.
