Short course

Solving today’s water and climate challenges is key to sustainable development but it has become increasingly complex due to the many sectors and stakeholders involved. Sectoral engineering approaches and economic management models alone no longer suffice to develop effective water strategies and policies. A more holistic, integrated and inclusive approach is needed to ensure the wise management and use of water, for current and future generations.

Governments, companies and international organizations in the water sector increasingly seek professionals who can use critical strategic thinking, both from a systems and a stakeholder perspective. This program will help you master and sharpen the skills essential for effective policy analysis, strategy and planning.

The courses in this program offer you the state-of-the-art approaches and tools required to deal with complex and multi-actor challenges in the water sector. You will learn how to use systems thinking and stakeholder analysis to develop integrated, future-oriented water policies and strategies. They will improve your ability to solve water problems across sectoral, spatial and institutional boundaries.

This online program is developed and taught by experts in policy analysis and water management from TU Delft and the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education. It fruitfully combines TU Delft’s expertise in multi-actor systems with IHE Delft’s long-standing experience in graduate education for the water sector worldwide.
