Ethiopia is among the countries with lowest water and sanitation coverage in Africa. To meet with the
countries ambitious Millennium Development Goals there is an urgent need for capacity building in the
water sector. This paper describes an innovative project that developed a new approach for practice
based self-learning
for local staff working at Woreda level. This approach combines conventional paper
based Distance Learning with CD-rom
and E-based
learning, supported by a network of trainers and
resource persons. The paper describes the approach and presents a way forward to support large
numbers of sector staff learning to apply improved intervention strategies in their job environment.
