Within
the framework of the Mediterranean cross-continental
Process for the 6th World Water Forum,
this 1st
Mediterranean Water Forum was held on
19-20 December in Marrakech (Morocco). MENBO took part as member of the
organisation committee of the Mediterranean cross-continental Process for the 6th
WWF in the realisation of this event.
A big mobilization of the Mediterranean
Water Community was made across the Mediterranean to set
up a platform of dialogue and exchange between all stakeholders concerned with
water issues to strengthen the cooperation in this field. Aproximately 350
participants from the three rims fo the Mediterranean came together on the same level of commitment to deliver strong and targeted
messages and reach the consequent objectives for the sustainable development of
the region.
The
target of the forum was two-fold:
1)
Preparation of the Mediterranean participation in the 6th World Water Forum
The
Mediterranean Water Forum was an important step in the preparation of the
Mediterranean process for the 6th World Water Forum which will be held in
Marseilles in March 2012. Four working groups debated and proposed solutions and
commitments related to priorities and targets retained for our region:
- Priority
n°1: Improving water demand management
- Priority
n°2: Use of non-conventional resources
- Priority
n°3: Improving water governance
- Priority
n°4: Urban and industrial wastewater collection and treatment
Each working group gathered some thirty
participants among decision-makers, national experts and representative from
local and territorial authorities, lending agencies, international organisations,
professionals, regional networks and NGOs, that was involved in a direct debate
with the expert panels. MENBO experts participated in the panels of priority 3
and 4.
2)
Launching a federative platform on water
The
Forum was also aiming at the establishment of a "Mediterranean Water
Forum" - or a federative platform of water stakeholders in the
Mediterranean - in order to consolidate
cooperation with regard to relationships and exchanges of know-how and
experiences between different actors.
Additionally
a range of side events was organised back to back with the Forum.
