Regional Training of Trainers for the Bangla-speakers from the two Bengals organised A Regional ToT in Bangla language was designed by GWA and held in collaboration with Pradan at CINI Chetana Resource Centre in Poilan in the outskirts of Kolkata, India, from November 25 to December 1, 2008. The ToT was meant to fulfill a long felt need felt by those working in this part of India and in Bangladesh for gender mainstreaming in IWRM. It was intended to assist participants with knowledge and the resources on gender as an organizing principle of water management. This was the first time that such a 'cross-border' linguistic initiative on gender and water was undertaken between the two countries. The report of this ToT can be downloaded below.
