Follow-up
The Saline Agriculture training courses were supported by the Asian Development Bank through the Netherlands Trust Fund Water Financing Partnership Facility. The Facility finances activities designed to give significantly more people in the Asia and Pacific region access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation; bring about higher productivity; help improve the efficiency of irrigation and drainage services; reduce the number of people at risk of floods; and, encourage more river basins to implement integrated water resources management. The training course was a pilot. NWP, Wageningen UR and The Salt Doctors will design a Feasibility Study for a future training programme on Saline Agriculture for the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Continuing to focus on the practicalities of transitions will definitely be one of the recommendations.
