Regional Rainwater Harvesting Knowledge Exchange Forum

The Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C) under its Water, Climate and Development Programme (WACDEP) together with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Amazon Project, the GEF International Waters Learning Exchange and Resource Network (IW:LEARN) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) under the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA)-GIZ Caribbean Aqua-Terrestrial Solutions Programme hosted a three-day Knowledge Exchange Workshop on Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) from October 21st – 23rd, 2014 in St. Lucia.

The three-day workshop brought together more than fifty (50) participants from the Caribbean as well as participants from Central and South America and the Mediterranean regions.

The main objectives of the Knowledge Exchange Workshop were to:

  • Present practical experience and best appropriate technology in RWH to decision-makers from public and private sector.
  • Support targeted learning through structured discussions at expert level and discuss the requirements for a wide up-scaling improvement of RWH technologies in the Caribbean and Amazon region.
  • Exchange technical, scientific and socioeconomic experience between the Amazonian and Caribbean partners.
  • Create interaction mechanisms that allow the expansion of knowledge concerning techniques and research on RWH systems in partner countries, in order to provide decision-makers with adequate practices and models of RWH systems that promote access to safe water supply in Amazonian and Caribbean rural areas.
