Abstract

Tanzania Water Partnership (TWP) in collaboration with Department of Water Resources Engineering, College of Engineering and Technology (CoET), University of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania; Department of Civil Engineering and Environment, Makerere University in Uganda; and Department of Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering, Moi University in Kenya jointly applied and implemented the IDRC funded project titled Building Capacity in Water Engineering For Addressing Sustainable Development Goals In East Africa (CAWESDEA). The project was conceived out of collaborative efforts between the partnering institutions, starting way back in 2017 when TWP submitted a concept note to IDRC in response to a call for the programme titled Strengthening Engineering Ecosystem in sub-Saharan Africa. TWP led the efforts of developing the concept note into a project proposal of which was funded by IDRC after going through due diligence processes. The CAWESDEA project was designed to cover 3 years - starting from October 1st 2018 and ending in September 2021. However, due to unprecedented global COVID19 Pandemic, the project was extended by four months up to February 2022. Thus, this report provides an account of the implementation trajectory of the CAWESDEA project.
