Master's students, academic staff, managers and decision-makers for the water sector of Central Asia, including water diplomats
Support the relevance, quality, modernization and responsiveness of MA/MSc curricula on water governance and water diplomacy offered by universities of Central Asian countries.
The project will help partner universities to establish conditions for the training of a new generation of managers and decision-makers for the water sector of Central Asia, including water diplomats, who can help resolve problems accumulated in the last three decades and effectively address new challenges, in particular climate change and water stress, through fostering cross-disciplinary, cross-sector and cross-country dialogues. The project will build capacities needed to promote and implement integrated water resources management, as well as adaptive water governance, strengthen regional cooperation and achieve more effective mobilization and utilization of private investment and international assistance.
Experts participating in the project will update and introduce innovative elements in existing curricula or create new innovative curricula for MA/MSc programmes, inspired by European best practices and adapted to regional conditions and requirements. The project will allow Central Asian universities to develop high quality programs to train a new generation of managers and decision makers for the water sector with the support of EU partner universities, local and international organizations and stakeholders.
