Capacity Building and Learning on Solar Powered Water Systems

Capacity Building and Learning on Solar Powered Water Systems

Oxfam and IOM with funds from USAID’s Bureau of humanitarian Assistance is implementing the Global Solar and Water Initiative (GLOSWI) project whose overall objective is to improve cost efficiency, reliability and sustainability of water access for displaced populations and affected host communities by effectively mainstreaming the use of solar water pumping technologies. One of the key objectives of this initiative is to strengthen knowledge on solar water pumping solutions among humanitarian WASH actors and develop capacity building options and technical support, with a focus on hard-to-reach places and first phase humanitarian emergencies. This will ensure emergency WASH actors have access to training opportunities and relevant information/materials and technical support. One of the ways of achieving this is, among others, production/organization of a series of short awareness and capacity building webinars and videos. This four-part webinar series, organized jointly by GLOSWI and energypedia focus on SPWS to raise awareness and build technical capacity of humanitarian WASH actors and other development organization.
