These training modules for graduate students and community partners focus on interdisciplinary approaches to improve capacity on the International WATERS Network themes. International WaTERS aims to address ongoing water governance and security challenges, with focus on the global South. The International WaTERS partnership does so by: promoting collaborative and comparative research on urban water resilience, with specific focus on rural-urban linkages and institutional, social and equity dimensions; fostering knowledge mobilization through academic and policy dialogue in our Network and beyond; and building an extensive network of expertise available to enrich capacity and graduate training at partner institutions.
