About

The Africa Center of Excellence for Water Management (ACEWM) is a regional Center for Eastern and Southern Africa for postgraduate education, research and public engagement in water management. ACEWM was established in 2016 and hosted under the Addis Ababa University (AAU). The most important rationale for establishing ACEWM is the need for development of highly skilled human resource capable of handling more complex water management problems in a holistic, integrative and transformative approach. This includes teaching at Master’s and PhD levels, innovative and applied research, internships, on job technical training and community outreach programs using broad-based partnership approach.
