Capacity development mechanism


The main idea is based on sharing knowledge between the countries and regions involved. In addition to the different national experiences, expert groups, research institutes and international organizations are involved to provide state-of-the-art expertise, standards, innovations and technologies to enhance the local capacities


and support these in applying and implementing innovative wastewater use tech- nologies in their respective countries.


Cooperative links and a community of practice were established, especially with expert groups of the respective collaboration partners in addition to other UN-Water members and partners, reaching out to the public sector. This enables the participants and beneficiaries to become more active in implementing innova- tive wastewater use strategies and concepts in developing countries and countries in transition. At the same time, it enables the beneficiaries and participants to learn from experiences of best practice implementation as well as continuing ex- change on recent implementation strategies and suitable indicators, respectively, from partners and water organizations, who are active in improving wastewater management and reuse in their respective environments.
This project focuses on two levels: the national and the international level. Figure 2 shows the capacity needs assessment that has been carried out at the national level in the targeted countries. Based on the capacity needs assessment, the capacity development activities have been carried out at an international level to enable knowledge-sharing from different regions using different capacity devel- opment channels.

  1. Capacity needs assessment (national level)


In the first phase of this project, countries representing different regions of the world were selected to be directly invited for participation:

  • Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria from the Middle East




  • India and Pakistan from Southern Asia




  • Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia from North Africa




  • Ghana and Senegal from West Africa




  • Kenya and South Africa from East and Southern Africa




  • Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru from Latin America

Key organizations in the selected countries were identified and a national focal point/coordinator was nominated. Country focal points, in collaboration with key national players, have identified the most relevant organizations in the country with competences on safe wastewater use in agriculture. Subsequently, a ques- tionnaire prepared by FAO was used to carry out the capacity needs assessment mainly to identify the needed knowledge and skills. Based on the WHO Guidelines (2006), the questionnaire was designed to assess the following knowledge areas:
