Dutch Training & Exposure Programme (DUTEP)
DUTEP is an annual capacity-building initiative that supports Indonesian professionals working in the field of integrated urban water management. Through a combination of training sessions and exposure visits to the Netherlands, the programme facilitates knowledge exchange, promotes best practices, and strengthens Dutch-Indonesian collaboration in tackling urban water challenges.
About
The programme provides opportunities for staff from the Jakarta Capital City government to spend a period in the Netherlands to learn from best practices.
The Indonesian staff spends its time in Rotterdam, the Dutch delta city to receive training and carry out a research internship project at a Dutch host organisation.
Bilateral cooperation
DUTEP is supported by partners from education, business and government. It is implemented by a consortium consisting of the cities of Jakarta and Rotterdam, Waterboard Delfland, Deltares, Van Oord, NX Filtration, Fugro, Bosman Water, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and Nuffic Southeast Asia.
The programme is a good example of new ways of bilateral cooperation, in which partners from education, business and government work closely together to contribute either in money or in kind to the success of the programme.
Timeline and set-up
DUTEP started in 2014. Until now, more than 95 participants from DKI Jakarta, Indonesia's Ministry of Public Works (PU) and the Nusantara Capital City Authority (OIKN) have been trained.
DUTEP is designed and coordinated by Nuffic Southeast Asia. The programme is flexible in its set-up: it can be implemented in different sectors, timeframes and countries. An important added benefit is that the programme allows for different funding streams to be combined.
