4 To foster capacity-building  Advanced Courses and Training Materials To replicate, upscale and capitalise RWHI  Technology Transfer and Adoption Centres & Demonstration Trials Strengthen networking capacity  Transnational Network To disseminate and promote RWHI  Website, international workshops, publications The AFRHINET project

5 Sustainabilty impacts StakeholdersExpected Impact HEIs, scientific institutions, NGOs, consultancies, enterprises -Offer high-quality well-trained workforce and consultancy on RWHI -Fostered networking capacity -Access to the state-of-the-art know-how and innovative RWHI best-practices -Offer market-oriented RWHI products -Higher inclusion of women and minority groups Decision- and policy- makers -Better policy-making capacity -Access to effective support for policy implementation -Updated and upgraded RWHI policies Local communities in rural arid and semi-arid areas: women, vulnerable groups, entrepreneurs -Access to high-quality support and capacitation services on RWHI -Capacity to use RWHI to manage food security during the dry season -Access to innovative and cost-efficient RWHI technologies

6 Project sustainability Tangible long-term impacts ExpansionReplicability Sound Implementation
