From Sunday onwards, 13 of our project owners will convene in The Netherlands for a week-long learning event. They will receive training on the investment landscape, on marketing and leadership. They will also conduct field visits to Dutch organisations that are of interest to them. All with the objective to prepare the innovators for the continuation of their project after the VIA Water programme ends for them.

Besides the project pitches and networking, Silas Mvulirwenande will speak. He is a Postdoc researcher on social water innovations in Africa, for which VIA Water is used as a case. Henk Ovink, Special Envoy International Water Affairs, will also speak.
