Water Governance & Financing Project Taking Shape in Mediterranean

The official launch of the project “Governance & Financing for the Mediterranean Water Sector” will take place in Barcelona, 28-29 May 2013, during a regional Conference organised by the Global Water Partnership Mediterranean under the auspices of the Secretary General of the Union for the Mediterranean.

The regional project has been designed and is jointly promoted and implemented by the Global Water Partnership Mediterranean and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and was labelled under the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) framework in July 2012.

Essential for launching the implementation of this regional project has been the strategic partnership with the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and the European Investment Bank (EIB). The steady support, already since 2009, of the GEF/ MAP UNEP MedPartnership programme and the Mediterranean Component of the EU Water Initiative (MED EUWI) has been instrumental for concretising the project’s line of work.
