The regional project has been designed and is jointly promoted and implemented by the Global Water Partnership-Mediterranean (GWP-Med) 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.
Approximately 100 targeted participants from both shores of the Mediterranean and the international community are expected to meet in Barcelona. The Conference of one and a half days will succeed in bringing together, thus engaging a wide range of stakeholders (governments, utilities, civil society, private sector, donor community, etc.) into a constructive policy dialogue on issues directly related to the inter-linkages between governance and financing (the governance-financing nexus) within the Mediterranean water sector. Moreover, the Conference will present the project’s components and the planned workplan for the coming years.
