The release said the Consul General of France in Jerusalem, Frederic Desagneaux, delivered a feasibility study on the establishment of a Palestinian training center for professionals working in the water and sanitation sector to the head of PWA, Shaddad Attili.
The study conducted by the International Office for Water at the request of the PWA focused on the terms of reference of such a center (technical features, cost, location, governance), in view of improving the training supply in the water sector in Palestine.
