Clear orientation on technical solutions and concrete outcomes
During his visit, Dr Abraha Adugna Ashenafi also received a warm welcome at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, where he was once an MSc. student before pursuing his PhD in Berlin. Several Dutch NWP members shared their expertise, enhancing the value of the programme for the State Minister. Dr Abraha Adugna Ashenafi perceived the visit as very good and found the exposure to technical solutions to the issues in the Ethiopian water sector very useful. One of the outcomes of the visit is that the Ethiopian State Minister and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed to explore a joint project for the Valuing Water Initiative that encourages greater use of new and sustainable methods of water management.
