About the event

Sustainable Eco Engineering (SEE) will be handing over the latest CBFEWS equipment, which will be installed at the ICIMOD Knowledge Park in Godavari. At the handover ceremony, we will be acknowledging SEE’s contribution and continuous support for the development of the CBFEWS.

SEE has been our private sector partner since 2010. In 2020, SEE provided instruments for the UNDP-supported project under which low-cost CBFEWS were installed in flood-prone districts of Malawi, southeastern Africa.
