About this programme
This specialized programme is designed to equip WASH professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to apply Machine Learning (ML) and predictive analytics for anticipating infrastructure failures and improving asset management. The programme explores how historical, operational, and sensor-generated data can be leveraged to identify failure patterns, predict maintenance needs, and optimize infrastructure performance. Through practical exercises, case studies, and real-world applications, participants will develop the capacity to implement data-driven maintenance strategies, reduce operational risks, extend asset lifespan, and enhance the reliability and sustainability of WASH infrastructure.
