In their ongoing effort to unravel how to manage and reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW), the partners of the Nakuru-Kisumu WaterWorX Water Operators' Partnership (WOP) shared their experience in NRW reduction on a webinar hosted by the WaterWorX NRW Community of Practice.

In mid-July 2021, over 50 water, sanitation and hygiene practitioners (team leaders, thematic experts, portfolio managers) from around the world participated in a webinar that reflected on the findings of a completed Review of achieved results, underlying approaches and contributing factors to success of 8 Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction interventions by 19 water operators in Asia and Africa between 2012 and 2019.

Typhoon Molave, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Quinta, caused widespread damage in the Philippines and Indochina in late October 2020. Typhoon Quinta brought more than 200 mm of rain in one day to the City of Bayawan. Normal rainfall in Bayawan does not reach 200 mm in one month. This caused flash floods.

In the sector of water and sanitation, innovative and fresh contributions to capacity building at an international level is a must. The Young Expert Programmes (YEP Programmes), currently present in 68 developing countries, aims at offering young Dutch and local professionals the opportunity to do exactly that by receiving intensive training and coaching, and by working in an international environment.
