Opening day of the hydrology training course at the 2IE school in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, February 2017.
As an international NGO with official partnership with UNESCO, WFEO is active in the NGO/UNESCO hydrology project, a program launched in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast, at the Forum on Access to Water for All in Africa in 2014.
The project has resulted in a first call for projects in 2016, with the selection of NGOs from three countries (Congo DR, Ivory Coast and Madagascar), in order to fund the enrollment of 14 of their members in the 2IE hydrology school in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The program was renewed for 2017 for six countries (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo).
Turning Promises into action: a second successful Promotion in the spring of 2019
A second promotion funded by the “UNESCO Participation Program” has been successfully formed this spring in Ouagadougou: 30 people from 6 countries: Niger, Chad, Togo, Senegal, Cameroon and Burkina Faso, including 15 women and 15 men, attended the 3-week Technical Course at Centre 2IE, the International Institute of water and Environmental Engineering in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso).
Based on local NGOs with water access projects (new wells, irrigation, sanitation and latrines), the selected trainees took theoretical and practical courses in hydrology. They will make an initial assessment of the progress of their project within 6 months.
