UNESCO
This organization, through the International
Hydrologic Program (PHI), is the entity
that sponsors CAZALAC’s at an international level, also providing technical
administrative assistance and promoting the establishment of new links to other
scientific and financing organizations, among others. The role of the PHI focal
points in Latin America and the Caribbean is worth highlighting due to the permanent
support provided to this initiative.
Government of Flanders (Belgium)
The Flemish Government has importantly participated in
CAZALAC’s initial projections. This participation has materialized through
scientific and financing support, which has enabled the Center to develop several
activities at an international level (workshops, courses, collaboration covenants,
etc.)
