Training Services

WOTR conducts a broad range of training programs for development practitioners from national and international organizations, officials from various government departments, community-based organizations, corporates and students. These programs are conducted in diverse fields such as geospatial tools, water budgeting, climate-induced vulnerability assessments, climate-resilient sustainable agriculture, watershed-based natural resource management, aquifer delineation, community mobilization, and application of technology in project management, entrepreneurship development and water stewardship.
