As part of the ACEWATER-III Project, the IGAD Climate Prediction & Applications Centre (ICPAC) in Nairobi, Kenya, hosted Dr. Mohammed Basheer from the University of Khartoum, Sudan between 17 to 21 Februray 2025. The visit fostered collaboration on climate data acquisition, downscaling and bias correction, while also exploring advanced water resources modelling.
Following the visit, Dr Basheer remarked: “I would like to thank Dr. Khalid Hassaballah and ICPAC for hosting me this past week. It has been a highly productive time, during which we laid the foundation for generating downscaled climate change data for East Africa, ensuring it accurately captures key hydrological characteristics. Thanks to ACEWATER III for making this exchange visit possible.”
We look forward to more collaborative exchange visits between academics in the AUDA-NEPAD Networks of Water Centres of Excellence as we build capacity in the African water sector. Scholars are from across the African continent and currently undertaking various research projects as part of the ACEWATER III Project.
