The first phase of the UfM-labelled project “Governance & Financing for the Mediterranean Water Sector” has been completed following successful policy dialogues in Jordan and Tunisia. The project aims to improve the public governance and attract investments to the water sector of the Mediterranean region. The promoters GWP-Med and OECD organised workshops to launch national reports in Amman and Tunis, respectively. Stakeholders from the water and wastewater sector - authorities, utilities, donors, civil society, private sector, etc. - convened to discuss the report’s findings and recommendations based on the analytical work and series of consultation meetings held during the preceding ten months.
The Governance & Financing for the Mediterranean Water Sector project is a joint undertaking of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Global Water Partnership-Mediterranean (GWP-Med). It aims to diagnose key governance bottlenecks to financing through public private partnerships (PPP) for the Mediterranean water sector and to support the development of consensual action plans based on international best practices.
