The workshop discussed the current status of transboundary water cooperation in the region and its benefits, as well as reviewed existing tools and approaches to prompt further progress, through topical discussions relevant to the specific context and needs of countries of the MENA region. The workshop aims to contribute to the strengthening of transboundary water cooperation in the region, therefore supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and SDG 6 in particular.
