Training of Trainer (ToT) on Climate Resilient Water Safety Plan (CR-WSP)

About the Training

The four-day Training of Trainers (ToT) on Climate Resilient Water Safety Plan (CR-WSP), including one day of field exposure, is designed to develop a pool of master trainers capable of advancing CR-WSP implementation. This program equips participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical facilitation skills to assess climate risks, formulate effective risk management strategies, and ensure the safety and sustainability of water supply systems in the face of changing climate conditions. Upon completion, participants will be prepared to serve as trainers and change agents, promoting CR-WSP at local, regional, and national levels.
