MASTER PROGRAMME


The International Master Programme on Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) is offered by Kenyatta University in collaboration with the partner universities Siegen (Germany), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Arba Minch (Ethiopia).
Aim of the project is to strengthen the existing master course through establishment of elective courses for small scale irrigation, water supply and sanitation including utility management and appropriate concepts for addressing the needs of the rural and urban poor.
Pilot sub-catchments will be selected by the three partner universities to establish the basic information and data systems for sustainable resources management and monitoring and to serve as research catchments:

  • Hare catchment in the Southern Ethiopian Rift Valley
  • Tana catchment, Kenya
  • Pangani catchment, Tanzania

The master course will further support applied research with regards to IWRM/IWM in collaboration with relevant institutions like International Water Management Institute, Applied Training Programme (ATP) of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) and Water Resources Management Authorities.
The planned joint degree to be offered by the four partner universities is based on the Bologna Principles. Students’ exchange (S-S, N-S, S-N) is supported, not at least to participate in ongoing international and bilateral programmes and to gain international accreditation.
