The capacity building component focuses on nurturing a community of WEFE practitioners across the region, including in Palestine and Israel. It includes one-day and five-day workshops for dozens of key actors, including rural community leaders and professionals, and aims to raise awareness of decentralized WEFE solutions. Through this type of actions, provide a platform for dialogue, and the opportunity to showcase successful community-led initiatives and encourage cross-border cooperation. The 5-day workshops, targeting 35-40 participants per session are designed to train community professionals and farmers in cutting-edge WEFE technologies, such as mobile wastewater treatment plants, atmospheric water generators, and precision agriculture. The activities of this project provide the needed safe space for facilitated, structured discussions on shared water resources, environmental conflicts, and the potential for cooperation. They also create a safe space for participants to express their views and build long-term relationships that fosters and enhances cross border cooperation and joint actions. Graduates of the capacity building activities get the opportunity to participate in a 14-week intensive training program that we utilize to further deepen participants’ expertise in subjects critical to cross-border cooperation, such as GIS, sustainable agriculture, and wastewater management. Experts joining this intensive component gain the skills needed to lead cross-border WEFE initiatives that benefit their respective communities.
