Summary
This report synthesizes the proceedings of the workshop ‘Capacity building in irrigation, drainage and flood control’ held in September 2003 alongside the congress of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) in Montpellier, France. It was organized by the ICID Working Group on Capacity Building, Training and Education, in association with FAO, Alterra–ILRI and other supporting agencies, and sponsored by the FAO’s Land and Water Development Division. Its goal was to highlight the important role of capacity development in the irrigation and drainage sector by presenting the current ‘state of the art’, the issues and challenges this raises, the approaches currently being taken and those needed in the future, and the facilitating role that agencies can play.
