TunisiaFirst Palestine International Water Forum: Fostering regional cooperation for sustainable and integrated water management
The Palestinian Water Authority (PWA), in partnership with the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), organized the 1st Palestine International Water Forum on 25-28 June 2018 in Ramallah, Palestine. This event was in line with the framework of the UfM Water Agenda and with a view to enhancing cooperation and ensuring coherence with relevant partners and initiatives in the UfM region.
The Forum, held under the title ‘Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): Best Practices and Technology Transfer’, provided the opportunity to discuss new IWRM tools to better prevent the water crisis, address water scarcity, enhance efficient water management, and ultimately, contribute to water security. The event gathered decision makers, water management practitioners, international water experts as well as regional and international organizations to share concrete experiences and explore innovative perspectives.
Almotaz Abadi, Senior Adviser at the UfM Secretariat, chaired a session dedicated to the Sustainable Development of Water Resources, which covered the Water-Energy-Food-Nexus, Water Governance and Regulating and investment. Abadi confirmed that these areas are at the heart of the efforts to develop the UfM Water Agenda, elaborated by the UfM Water Expert Group as defined in the UfM Ministerial Declaration on Water. The declaration was endorsed by the 43 Member States of the Union for the Mediterranean in April 2017.
