PROTOS centre of knowledge

 As a specialist in the water sector in the developing countries or the South  PROTOS feels responsible to make its knowledge and experiences available to others. The latter concerns both development actors and NGO’s from North or South, as well as other interested parties such as students, developing world movements etc.... .

In this context PROTOS places at your disposal a documentation centre and a Question-and-Answer service. It also regularly brings out publications concerning the technical, methodological or political aspects of water management. Moreover, PROTOS frequently acts as a consultant for government agencies and NGOs and gives advice on water-related projects and programmes.
