The National Hydrology Project (NHP) is a Government of India and World Bank funded project aiming to improve the extent, quality, and accessibility of water resources information and to strengthen the capacity of targeted water resources management institutions in India.
Capacity building is a major component of the NHP which aims to increase the number of specialists in key water management disciplines in Indian Government Agencies.
The Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR), River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, the lead agency for NHP, has recently requested AWP to assist in identifying four to five training programs to be run by Australian Partners and funded through the NHP. The Australian Water Partnership (AWP) is therefore seeking submissions from Australian Partners to deliver training for the NHP. The training programs will be funded by MoWR.

The expected ‘cost of funding’ range provided by MoWR needs to cover all the costs of the proposed program except for participant accommodation, per diems and international flights. This means that all Australian training costs (e.g. Australian Partner remuneration, meeting room hire, printing of materials, transport for field trips) need to be covered within the proposed cost. We suggest proposing a cost for the full program with the assumed number of participants clearly stated.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Location of training” custom_font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left|color:%23b24040″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto:100,100italic,300,300italic,regular,italic,500,500italic,700,700italic,900,900italic|font_style:700 bold regular:700:normal” use_custom_heading=”true”]As noted in the Call for EOIs, the one-week training program for senior management is expected to take place in Australia.
