The Arab Water Council participated in the Regional Workshop on “Enhancing Trans-Boundary Water Cooperation in the MENA region - Progress, Challenges and Opportunities” in Beirut, Lebanon, 3-4 March 2020.

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), and the Global Water Partnership-Mediterranean (GWP-Med) organized a Regional Workshop on Enhancing trans-boundary water cooperation in the MENA region: progress, challenges, and opportunities in the framework of “Making water cooperation happen in the Mediterranean” project.

The workshop gathered partners & representatives from 10 countries from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to discuss the current status of transboundary water cooperation, its benefits, persisting and emerging challenges, as well as, possible avenues for progress. They also considered existing tools and approaches that could be used to prompt the strengthening of transboundary water cooperation in the region and hence support the achievement of SDG 6, specifically its target 6.5 on implementing IWRM at all levels. The workshop was also a good opportunity for sharing good practices and lessons learned from existing cooperation processes in transboundary basins of the region, for example in the Orontes River, the Al-Disi Aquifer System, and the Nile River Basins.

The Arab Water Council, represented by H.E. Dr. Al Atfy-AWC Secretary-General, had the pleasure to moderate a session on “The Role of International Water Law in Supporting Trans-Boundary Water Cooperation”. The main objective of the session was to discuss how international water law, and the Water Convention, in particular, can contribute towards strengthening transboundary water cooperation in the MENA region; and also to review the progress of countries in the region so far in acceding to it.
