The main objective of the Workshop is to review the process of national IWRM planning and implementation in Libya. More specifically, the Workshop aims to
- discuss key water sector challenges, strategies in Libya and possible mitigation measures within an IWRM approach. The discussions will focus on four themes: i.e. Water Governance, Water Efficiency, Water Assessment and Monitoring and Non-Conventional Water Resources.
- provide a platform among policy makers, technical experts and stakeholders from Libya as well as from North Africa countries and the Mediterranean region, to share experiences on good practices and lessons learned on the Workshop themes.
The Workshop is hosted by the Libyan General Water Authority (GWA) with the support and collaboration of UNEP through its Collaborating Centre on Water and Environment (UCC-Water), the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Water Facility (AWF) and the Global Water Partnership – Mediterranean (GWP-Med). The Workshop contributes to the Mediterranean Component of the EU Water Initiative (MED EUWI) and the GEF Strategic Partnership for the Mediterranean Large Marine Ecosystems (GEF SPM).
