Next Steps
October 2013: Hydro Economics model (Excel based) to be sent to countries with instructions on
how to use (Yale)
: Webinar based training on how to use it, feedback from countries on challenges, advisory
support
Jan-Feb 2014: Regional Training on Hydro-Economic Modeling (in partnership with GWP)
Mar-Apr 2014: 3rd Regional Training on Assessing Costs and Benefits of Climate Change
Adaptation
– Countries apply methods to own data, feedback and Countries prepare draft results with
understanding of what needs to be done to improve results
• Cost Benefit Analysis of Projects
• Hydro-Economic Modelling
• Economics of Agriculture Sector
May- Sep 2014: Country based and web-based training on hydro-economic modelling (in
partnership with GWP)
