Project description
Operators are working to strengthen their capacity to continue to deliver effective services in a changing and increasingly uncertain environment while addressing climate change impacts, developing a toolkit on climate change adaptation for water operators deriving lessons and practical experiences generated from the WOP. In addition, a parallel objective focuses in ensuring adequate water supply as well, especially during the dry season and flood events.
Project main objectives
-To provide NWSDB the opportunity to observe best practices in climate change adaptation in order to achieve improved operational efficiencies in water service delivery
-To expose recipient to state of the art technologies being adapted by mentor which can be applied to NWSDB operations.
-To introduce recipients to the mentor’s different programs with emphasis on the focus areas of the twinning such as : disaster management; climate change; NRW; high performing business culture as well as meter and asset management.
- Greater understanding of two cultures and ongoing in kind support
