The project aimed for 5 tailor made trainings (TMT+):
1. Water quality and quantity
2. Membrane desaliantion
3. Renewable energy (solar) for deslination
4. Water Management and Governance
5. Policy dialogue
Your Benefits
Project aimed to qualify individuals and communities as a whole towards a sound concept of energy production from clean and environmentally friendly sources, including solar energy, to drive desalination plants. Taking into account not only public information campaigns and promotion of solar energy technology, but also training and technical education through training programs and workshops.
