Our award-winning range of postgraduate education programs, online courses, short courses, executive professional development courses, and custom courses for organisations use innovative, problem-based and experiential educational approaches, to build the capacity of future water leaders.
Our organisational partnerships are highly collaborative and our solutions are designed to provide practically-focused input while building the institutional capacity of the partner organisation.
We lead whole-of-water cycle, transdisciplinary and collaborative research activities, which address current and emerging water issues to influence water management and policy, education and leadership.
In the slipstream of the Rio+20 Earth Summit in 2012 that articulated The Future We Want, UNESCO-IHE has convened development practitioners, researchers, sector specialists, policy makers, and capacity development specialists to the 5th Delft Symposium on Water Sector Capacity Development on 29-31 May 2013 to examine who is taking the lead in developing capacity ‘from Rio to Reality.’ This paper maps some of the major challenges and choices to increase water security in the 21st century; outlines trends and relevant models in leadership development; and explores how leadership can be nurtured and catalysed through capacity development for individuals, organisations, and networked communities to deliver on our shared visions, especially in developing countries. The author argues to adopt modern approaches that will expand individual and collective leadership at all levels and combine cognitive competencies, including deep knowledge of integrated water resources management, with transformational individual development.
