The Associated Programme on Flood Management has developed a comprehensive training curriculum on flood management. Over the past years, several training workshops were conducted in various countries. In this regards, APFM is supported not only by the World Meteorological Organization and the Global Water Partnership, but also through contributions from its Support Base Partners.
Trainings are organized on a demand-driven basis, and individually tailored to the requesting parties and governments.
Types of trainings and workshops
Scope, duration and topics vary but can generally be divided into the following:
- Short vocational trainings or workshops (3-5 days) on the principles and aspects of Integrated Flood Management for policy makers, development planners, and water and disaster management professionals with a priority on the national and basin level.
- Training of trainers workshops (1-5 days) for capacity building institutions targeting vocational training of relevant professionals.
