Core course

Hydroaid core course

From 2002 to 2009 the Training Program on Planning and Management of Water Resources represented the institutional training activity of Hydroaid and was held every year through a scholarship grant for technicians and managers of public water utilities and institutions from developing and emerging countries.

The course took place at the International Training Center of the International Labor Organization (ITC-ILO) in Turin.

The course consisted in three specializations of theoretical study and field training:

Management and governance of the integrated water service cycle: This segment focused on high level management and cultural approaches to water resources and was designed for countries with good administration system and organization;
Management of water resources for soil conservation and agricultural development; this course dealt with technical, economic and planning contents and was intended for moderately developed countries;
Supply systems for drinking water, irrigation and sanitation: this third specialization contained more technical and basic elements for water resource management and was addressed to countries with a lower development level.
