We are delighted to showcase Mott MacDonald's case study titled ‘Securing #Oman's Water Supply’ featured in our #WaterResilience Report – Unlocking local and global benefits through collaboration. Global engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald was appointed by the Oman Public Authority for Water (PAW) to assess the security of water supply to its four million customers. Based in #Muscat, Oman, the team was tasked with assessing the security of supply to 17 water supply zones, addressing both short and long-term risks, and recommending measures to enhance water supply system #resilience and security of supply. They also evaluated the costs and benefits of the proposed solutions and created an #ActionPlan for PAW to take forward. The project was carried out between 2019 and 2022. Mott MacDonald needed to find a solution that would ensure all of PAW’s customers, regardless of location, have a safe and reliable supply of #DrinkingWater, as free as possible from risk of interruption or failure. Want to know how Mott MacDonald found the solution?

As we are slowly approaching the summer, on Wednesday I hosted our last International Development Heads of Business before the summer break. We were delighted to welcome Ryan Henson, CEO of the Coalition for Global Prosperity to share initial thoughts on UK International Development policy following the General Election. Our roundtable marked the start of our wider initiative to re-position UK as a global leader in International Development. We will be organising further discussions with members on this theme in the coming weeks and plan to prepare a note highlighting some of the areas in which our members will be able to contribute to the new Government’s development agenda. Looking forward to continuing working closely with Ryan and his team addressing the importance of aligning International Development with our country's National Security plans, Diplomacy relations and Trade and Exports targets.

Today, we are delighted to share Pearson's case study from our #EducationReport. Pearson is the world’s leading learning company. They have more than 20,000 employees that deliver products and services in nearly 200 countries, all working towards a common purpose – to help everyone achieve their potential through learning. Pearson provides high quality digital content and learning experiences, as well as #assessments and #qualifications that help people build their skills and grow with the world around them. In 2023, the Jordanian Ministry of Education and Pearson signed an agreement to reform Jordan’s #TVET provision in state schools – introducing #BTECqualifications into the country’s national curriculum. Pearson’s internationally recognised vocational qualifications are developed and validated in partnership with educators, employers and governments. These qualifications support students with applied, hands-on learning experiences, leaving them skilled for employment and/or Higher Education. In the coming weeks, we will share case studies from the Education report delivered by BEI members and local partners across the Middle-East. Like Pearson's, these real-life case studies highlight the impact of #partnerships and offer best practice examples of how to tackle key issues in a range of different contexts.

We are delighted to showcase HR Wallingford's case study, titled 'Building a new National Flood Forecasting and Warning System for Malaysia,' featured in our #WaterResilience Report – Unlocking local and global benefits through collaboration. As part of an ambitious project to build a country-wide flood early warning system, HR Wallingford initially developed a flood forecasting system for 25 catchments across peninsular #Malaysia, covering 99,000 km2, for the Malaysian Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID). The system provides alerts to authorities 48 hours prior to a flood, and #FloodForecasts up to a week in advance. HR Wallingford are now extending the system to 11 more catchments, including the country capital, #KualaLumpur. Unifying the technological approach across the country is an important move for #FloodManagement in the country. Many thanks to HR Wallingford's team for their contributions!

Thank you to our incredible sponsor, Fathom, for their support with our Climate Showcase! We're reminiscing on our London Climate Action Week 2024 celebrations, where we organised a photography exhibition to showcase members’ work in climate change #mitigation and #adaptation in the Global South. During this exhibition, we held several showcase events which were co-designed with members supporting the exhibition. Our final event was co-hosted with Fathom, focusing on the Challenges in Accessing Climate Risk Data in Emerging and Developing Countries. British Expertise International is very grateful to the members who have sponsored our Climate Showcase. The images below were produced by Fathom, and show state-of-the-art flood simulations, visualizing the depths and extent of floods in #Pakistan, #Sudan, #DemocraticRepublicofCongo and #Mozambique. This artwork was featured in our Climate Exhibition titled '#Equilibrium,' at D Contemporary, which came to a close last week after a very successful showcase. #Climatechange #Fathom #BritishExpertise #LondonClimateActionWeek2024 #Equilibrium
