Euwi - European Water Initiative

Within the capacity building activities, AFRETEP project has organised a series of 3 regional workshops, inviting 96 participants from 30 African countries. While the three workshops have had in common the exchange of expertise and experience with and within African Research Centers, the focus of each one was harmonised and decided together with the host region, seeking the fit between the training and expertise we can provide with their needs and interest.

Following this approach, the list of the regional workshops along with their topics are as follows:

1. AFRETEP 1^st Regional Workshop: East Africa. It took place in Kampala, Uganda, from 3^rd to 7^th October 2011 with the support of Centre of Research in Energy and Energy Conservation of the Makerere University.
