Organized by the Climate Change and Environment in the Arab World Program at AUB’s Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs

Venue: Issam Fares Institute Building, Green Oval, AUB Campus
Date: 29-31 July, 2015

Background:
The Climate Change and Environment in the Arab World Program at the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut invites interested professionally active Lebanese females to a three-day training on Water Integrity, to be followed by a fourth day a week later, allocated for development of action plans.

This training is part of the “Capacity Building Programme on Water Integrity in MENA”, which aims to develop capacities of various water stakeholder groups at different governance levels to improve transparency, accountability and participatory practices in water management in the MENA region, including Lebanon.

Participants will be introduced to water integrity and good governance principles, and their implementation within their respective organizations. They will also be familiarized with corruption risks within the water sector in Lebanon, and the tools that can help in promoting integrity and tackling corruption.

By the end of the training, participants are expected to have acquired skills to develop action plans to initiate concrete activities to promote integrity in their communities. After the training, participants will be mentored by the trainers up to six months for the development and implementation of their action plans. Accordingly, participants with outstanding action plans will be considered as water integrity ambassadors and will be invited to participate in a regional alumni workshop to be part of a unique experience sharing with other countries from the region.
