IHE Delft Water and Development Partnership Programme (DUPC)
Working with partners in the low- and middle-income countries is a key approach for IHE Delft to help solve water and development challenges. We believe that bringing together knowledge and experience from different perspectives will help find local solutions and strengthen capacities. The Water and Development Partnership Programme supports a large number of partnership activities on research, education and knowledge sharing and aims to create synergies and stimulate lasting collaborations between partners in inclusive ways. The Programme is funded by the DGIS, the development cooperation agency of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
