 * Objective:**
 * 1) Participants understand the concept of integrated rainwater management and rainwater management strategies
 * 2) Participants understand the concept of suitability and feasibility maps
 * 3) Participant are able to map out rainwater management strategies of their choice with the Nile Goblet tool
 * 4) Participants are able to feed their own maps to the Nile tool
 * 5) Participants are able to organize a Nile training for their peers

This training is for participants who have already a background in GIS and know how to do simple manipulation in ArcGIS or another open source GIS program. Participants of this training should be willing to organize a half day training on the Nile-Goblet tool for their peers within their organization. 8-9 October in Addis for OARI and partners (Beshale Hotel or ILRI campus) 13-14 November in Gondar for ARARI and partners (Gondar University) We will cover, transport, accommodation and lunch. Please ask for a per-diem from your organization. OARI 7-8 participants (from outside Addis) ERHA 1 participant ARARI 7-8 participants (from outside Gondar) Each partner can invite up to 4 participants for another organization with related interests.
