In 1982, a training unit was established to enhance the capabilities of MWRI’s engineers in irrigation and drainage. By 1994, this unit was upgraded to a training center in 6th of October City, aimed at building capacity for MWRI’s staff across various fields. In 2002, an agreement was signed between the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) of Egypt. Under this agreement, the center was designated as a Category II water center named the “Regional Center for Training and Water Studies (RCTWS),” operating under UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Hydrological Program (IHP-IX). As a result, RCTWS’s role in improving water systems efficiency expanded to regional and international levels. The agreement with UNESCO was renewed for an additional 8 years, extending until 2030.
RCTWS aims to equip trainees with essential information, skills, and innovative methods to enhance their abilities, positively influence their behaviors and attitudes, and improve their performance levels
