Description
Access to drinking water in Madagascar is highly unequal, with a coverage rate of 51%, while only 10 % of the population has access to basic sanitation (UNICEF, 2019). The proposed response to this health and hygiene problem, exacerbated by climate change issues, is first and foremost training to facilitate the practices and use of water through a necessary adaptation of practices and technologies. The aim of the DEFI'EAU project is to modernise the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) professional training offered by Madagascar's higher education institutions in a social and economic context that requires the training to be adapted to Madagascar's practices and resources. In order to ensure the modernisation of Madagascar's WASH training offer, it is necessary to implement a solidarity between HEIs by mutualising the new training offer as well as the pedagogical innovations.The project will pursue the following priorities: To create new professional training curricula in accordance with the needs of the labour market, at Bachelor's and Master's level. Curricula will be accessible in initial and continuous training, to respond to the needs of adapting the skills of people already in work and to train future professionals. To develop rationalised and innovative training solutions in accordance with the limited human and technical resources at national level through the implementation of a collaborative and shared training offer. Innovative training solutions will serve this development: distance learning and setting in situations throughout experimental platforms.The new training offer in this field will be tested during the project through the implementation of a trial training year for undergraduate (professional bachelor) and postgraduate (master) degrees, as well as continuing education courses. The project will enable Madagascar's HEI partners to develop a new training offer that meets the needs of the WASH sector and ensures its sustainability.
