WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

UNESCO-IHE is the largest international postgraduate water education facility in the world.

UNESCO-IHE was created in 2003 from the previous IHE. This in turn was established from the International Course in Hydraulic Engineering (set up in 1957). This name changed to International Institute for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE) in 1976.

The Institute confers fully accredited MSc degrees and PhDs.

Since 1957 the Institute has provided postgraduate education to more than 14,500 water professionals from over 160 countries, the vast majority from the developing countries and countries in transition.

2.5 billion people worldwide are without access to hygienic sanitation facilities – including 1.1 billion who defecate in the open.

It is generally women who are burdened with the task of collecting water, which can take up to 26% of their time.

18% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa relies on an improved drinking water source that is more than 30 minutes away.

2.2 million children will die from diarrhea and related disease this year, 80% in their first years of life.
