| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper reports the experience of a regional network of academic
departments involved in water education that started as a project and
evolved, over a period of 12 yr, into an independent network
organisation. The paper pursues three objectives. First, it argues that it
makes good sense to organise postgraduate education and research on water
resources on a regional scale and presents the WaterNet experience as an
example that a regional approach can work. Second, it presents preliminary
findings and conclusions that the regional approach presented by WaterNet
did make a contribution to the capacity needs of the region both in terms of
management and research capacity. Third, it draws two generalised lessons
from the WaterNet experience. Lesson one pertains to the importance of
legitimate ownership and an accountability structure for network
effectiveness. Lesson two is related to the financial and intellectual
resources required to jointly developing educational programmes through
shared experience. |
