Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), India in collaboration with Kenya Water Institute (KEWI) conducted a five day international training programme on “Water Sensitive Urban Design and Planning (WSUDP)” from 16-20th January, 2017. 27 state and non-state practitioners across seven African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Malawi, Somalia and Gambia) participated in the training programme to learn about WSUDP as an approach to identify rainwater, storm water and waste water as resource rather than nuisance.

“The training in Kenya was beneficial in various ways; first, to learn, share and exchange information and experiences with other participants from different countries. Second, and most importantly, to learn the various modules which were amazingly presented by the organizers. The knowledge was more than I had ever imagined there would be and completely exceptional! In addition, we were able to follow suit and exercise in planning DWWTSs and RWH systems. I found this very useful because it provides a great platform for a planning experience my own setting. Malawi could definitely use such. I also specially thank the CSE organizing team we had in Kenya for the wonderfully ordered, co-ordinated and well planned activities. I hope that one day I will be able to train others in a similar program.” - Wema Meranda Mtika |

“I would say that the course was successful indeed, I have learned a lot and I request the training to be carried every year if possible.” - Obai Nyasani Eunice, Student K.E.W.I, Kenya |
“The whole course WSUDP was excellent and very vital especially to me. It acted as an eye opener with regard to rainwater conservation and the decentralised waste-water treatment planning. However the content need to be spread over a slightly longer period to avoid fatigue that comes with extended sessions.” Nelson Njiraine Kinyua, Instructor K.E.W.I, Kenya |
