The SWITCH Training Kit
The SWITCH Training Kit is being created to initiate the application of more sustainable approaches to urban water management. The kit consists of a series of modules and sub-modules that address the overarching issues of integration in the urban water cycle and the innovative options that are available for putting IUWM into practice.
To assist with the development of these modules, ICLEI is organising a number of workshops in cities around the world pilot the Training Kit materials. The workshops are taking place in cities which have expressed an interest in receiving the training due to current and future water management issues and the desire to implement change. The workshops are targeted specifically at staff from local government departments relevant for the topic of the workshop.
The pilot workshops are as follows:
