A five-day course in September 2017 was designed to enhance the capacity of participants to install and use community-based flood risk management system. The course provided technical know-how as well as conceptual knowledge about the use of flood early warning device designed by ICIMOD with support from Sustainable Eco Engineering (SEE).

The hands-on portion training was designed for those who directly work on the ground for the implementation of the project. Participants of the training were representatives from the CBFEWS implementing communities and organizations especially, staff from local government and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners, caretakers and ICIMOD staff.

Altogether 17 participants from three countries i.e. 4 from Pakistan (including FOCUS and WWF Pakistan), 3 from India, 10 from Nepal (including 4 from CBFEWS implementing communities, 2 from Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, 1 from District Administration Office, 1 from Oxfam, 1 from UNDP and 1 from ICIMOD).
