Western Africa Regional ToT workshop: Understanding Gender in IWRM

With support of GWA, the African Initiative for Environment Sustainable Network (IFESNET-AFRICA) organized a regional ToT workshop in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria, from 14-20 September 2008. The main aims of the workshop were to build capacity and increase knowledge and understanding of gender in IWRM with the NGOs and State Governments in Southern Nigeria. IFESNET-AFRICA reports that this region is relatively neglected in development activities whereas the problems, especially as a result of water pollution, are immense. Apart from the detailed programme schedule, the report describes the session contents, the regional specific case studies, group exercises, the field visit and reviews the reactions of the participants in the ensuing discussions.
