Aid & Development

Hafren Water provides technical support and training to aid and development organisations and governments on water-related issues

Background

Our unique approach to aid and development work is derived from experience in the highly regulated structure within the EU, the development of pragmatic and appropriate technical solutions and an understanding of the framework within which development work operates. This unique combination of benefits ensures that work undertaken by Hafren Water is highly targeted, cost-effective and appropriate.

Hafren Water has demonstrated that specialist, technical input, at an appropriate time in the lifecycle of a programme, can improve significantly the outcomes, sustainability and effectiveness of water supply projects

Services

Support is given to organisations through consultation, technical input and knowledge transfer. We work in close collaboration with NGOs, together with appropriate government bodies that have responsibility for water issues.

In the great majority of cases, the success of development programmes is based upon their sustainability. This is defined not only in terms of water resources but also in the setting up of appropriate management teams with access to relevant technical support.

The skills and knowledge to undertake this type of work are rarely available in a single organisation. However, the very wide range of experience and contacts of Hafren Water are such that we can tap into the roots of UK learning and resources.

An essential component of our work is the transfer of technologies and experience at an appropriate pace and level.

The majority of our work is undertaken in close co-operation with partner NGOs, with the intention being to facilitate change and development, rather than impose it in isolation. Such an approach consistently secures long-lasting and tangible benefits and is more effective than highly technical but inappropriate interventions.

  • Strategic assessments of water resources
  • Technical programme audits
  • Groundwater development
  • Training and capacity building
