Mapping Young (Rural) Water Professionals Development Programmes Across the Globe
Global Baseline Report

Description:

A global evidence baseline on the landscape, reach and institutional geography of programmes and initiatives that are dedicated to developing and nurturing young water professionals across the globe.

This mapping exercise identified 82 programmes supporting young and early-career water professionals worldwide: 66 core programmes and 16 borderline or generic programmes. The findings show that there is already a considerable range of initiatives offering training, mentoring, networking, fellowships, research, leadership development, innovation and technical learning. The challenge, therefore, is not simply a lack of programmes, but significant gaps in where they focus, who they serve, where they are administered, and how they connect young professionals to longer-term careers.
