ESCWA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in collaboration with the High-Level Joint Water-Agriculture Technical Committee, organized a technical workshop to improve water allocation for agriculture in Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Tunisia.
The workshop, held in Cairo on 26 and 27 September, tackled a detailed methodological approach for developing improved water allocation plans in the pilot areas mentioned. Participants identified challenges and constraints specific to each of those countries, and explored solutions for coordinating with relevant stakeholders prior to and during the implementation phase of the project. Preliminary action plans are also being developed for each selected area.
The pilot projects represent a significant improvement in water allocation; they are expected to be impactful within a short period of time, and will provide valuable insights in the field.
