Figure 1 A sneak peek on the trainings that were carried out under Pillar B

The selection of technologies/tools presented in the workshops was based on the following
criteria:

• Relevance for RBO’s work. The technologies/tools were chosen based on their direct
relevance to the specific mandates and objectives of RBOs in the context of WRM. Emphasis
was placed on selecting tools that align with the operational and decision-making needs of
RBOs, ensuring that they provide essential information and analytical capabilities to
enhance water resource management practices.
• Ability to address transboundary WRM aspects. Priority was given to tools that offered
solutions and insights applicable to cross-border challenges, fostering collaboration and
coordination within and among RBOs.
• Cost-free accessibility. The workshops prioritized technologies/tools that are available for
use without any associated costs in order to eliminate the financial barriers that usually
emerge when using cutting-edge data and technology, consequently demonstrating RBOs
how they can benefit from them without incurring expenses.
