Last month, André, Bert and Luuk traveled to Tete to attend ZAMADZI’s first annual, this was an opportunity to meet all project partners and to agree on the next steps for the project. Here’s the report.
This is the main focus of our project and we are aiming to have 17 MSc students being supported by our project. A total of 7 students, started at the beginning of 2018, the MSc in Hydrology and Water Resources Management given by the Faculty of Engineering of UEM in Maputo.
Within ZAMADZI we will have three PhD students. These projects will be co-supervised by Universities in the region, members of WaterNet we have identified the potential candidates and are now in the process of finding the Universities to host them.
Through short duration courses we will actively improve the capacity of requesting organizations’ and stakeholders’ staff in Integrated Water Resources Management. In these courses we will cover a wide array of skills, including soft skills and content-related skills.
Action research, consists in solving an existing problem while simultaneously doing research and reporting on the process and on its outcomes. Through ZAMADZI we will support several Action Research projects that will be based in the region, led by local Universities and solve challenges that affect local stakeholders.
ZAMADZI consists in the merge of the fragment ZAM from Zambezi, and the word MADZI which means water, with a few variations, in Banthu languages: manzi in Zulu; maji in Swahili; and mati in Shangaan. Just like this family of languages, the waters of the Zambezi are shared among millions of people and enable daily life. However, sharing the Zambezi is complex and the river must be exploited in a sustainable way, with national and international agreements being fully respected. We argue that can only be achieved if local populations, governments and the private sector have capacity to adequately manage their water – which is what our project aims at doing.
Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems and the environment.
Here we will share all MSc and PhD thesis that will be authored by people involved in our project. We will also include peer-reviewed and conference articles.
Here you can access our technical documentation, including presentations, reports and posters. We have sorted the list of documents according to the event where it was presented.

Last time around me and Tanja did not have the opportunity to visit ISPS or FCA so I flew to Tete before the annual meeting for this.
Great news! We are involved in a new project in Mozambique and that’s always very exciting! In the past few months we have been quite busy setting-up a NUFFIC-funded capacity building project in the Zambezi Valley. The project is entitled…
