MWH has extensive experience in training experts, organising seminars, workshops and conferences world-wide and promoting topics related to climate change and sustainable development.
Besides strong management and stakeholder expertise, we have the technical knowledge to successfully lead project implementations. MWH has implemented and is currently implementing a number climate change related projects. We have recent and relevant experience in the fields of climate change and energy, services and trade, risk management, water, and waste management. We also have recent, relevant experience in the field of water supply, waste water, sanitation, sustainable development , providing high-value technical expertise for the implementation of numerous contracts.
- MWH has been managing the Global Support Facility (GSF) to Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) under a first contract with the EC since 2009, and under a recently awarded contract will manage the GSF for GCCA+ until 2021. A large pool of experts has been managed by the team, as well as numerous technical events in the frame of global and regional conferences as well as training workshops, covering Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific;
- A consortium led by MWH was responsible for the implementation of the Regional Capacity Building Initiative. RCBI united 13 ENPI CBC programmes involving 20 Member States (17 of which are actively involved), 17 partner countries (12 of which are actively involved) and Turkey. Whether it was helping local officials to develop project proposals in Murmansk or giving information on ENPI CBC to people in Cairo, RCBI supported the EU’s neighbours to actively participate in cross-border relations from April 2005 to June 2012.
- In 2013, a MWH-led consortium started to implement one of the biggest technical assistance contracts launched by the European Commission Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) for Western and Central Africa, whereby approximately 158 missions are being initiated and 316 experts recruited throughout the duration of the contract and upon a short-notice request from the Contracting Authority before each mission.
