[Nov 17, 2025] The Water and Land Resource Centre (WLRC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE), kicked off a capacity-building training under the title “Training workshop: Building climate resilience through exploration and exploitation of usable climate information and early warning products from existing climate centres– Stack knowledge generation that is useful for planning and implementation of IWRM”.
This training is aimed at strengthening the use of climate information and early warning services in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), says Dr. Mekonnen Adnew, CRM Specialist at WLRC. The training brings together 30experts from MoWE, basin administration offices, and regional bureaus. It is an effort to enhance their skills in accessing, interpreting, and applying climate and early warning products generated by EMI, ICPAC, and FEWS NET.
This initiative is part of the BRIGHT project, which focuses on building climate resilience across Ethiopia’s major river basins. Over the coming days, participants will engage in practical sessions using digital climate tools, explore data from regional climate centres, and discuss how climate services can be better integrated into planning and decision-making. This training is being held at Top Ten hotel and will continue to be conducted for the next 3 days.
