EU Water Initiative - Enhancing Water Management in EECCA Region

The EU Water Initiative in the EECCA region aims to achieve MDGs and WSSD targets through integrated water resources management. It encourages a balance between human needs and environmental preservation, promoting better governance and coordination. By involving diverse stakeholders and enhancing partnerships, the initiative seeks to catalyze additional funding and foster regional cooperation. The National Policy Dialogue and joint activities like IWRM and WSS initiatives are key components, contributing towards achieving water-related goals. Key achievements include setting up steering groups, action plans, and capacity-building efforts. Future steps involve launching more country-specific dialogues and reinforcing cooperation with organizations like UNECE. For more information, visit www.euwi.net.
