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.
