Addressing Water Scarcity in the MENA Region through Capacity Building and Partnership – Webinar Recording

An initiative of the IHE Delft Water and Development Partnership Programme (DUPC) and TheWaterChannel

Background and Thematic Focus

The Middle East and Northern Africa region (MENA) represents one of the driest regions of the world – at the same time water scarcity is getting ever more severe under climatic change, increasing water demands from all sectors, and unsustainable water resources management. In this context, the Water and Development Partnership Programme (DUPC2) has supported many projects aiming to address water scarcity, ranging from scientific assessments, innovations, to capacity development and fostering partnerships.

This webinar will synthesize insights and experience from different DUPC2 projects on the values of capacity building and partnerships in addressing water scarcity in the MENA region.
