TunisiaThird Cairo Water Week concludes with pledge of continued EU support to Egypt in its endeavours to optimize water management
The Third Annual Cairo Water Week (CWW) was held from 18 to 22 October. “Water Security for Peace and Development in Arid Regions – The Road to Dakar 2021” was the theme for this year’s event. Cairo Water Week is organized by the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation in collaboration with the European Union (EU) alongside other national, regional and international partners.
As in other years, a number of EU-supported activities accompanied the conference with the aim of raising awareness about water conservation and fostering innovative approaches to address the most pressing water challenges. Activities included a workshop on the EU-Egypt Irrigation Modernization Study and Sustainable Finance, the second edition of the EU – Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) – Egypt Water Governance and Business Forum, and the annual workshop of the EU Water Sector Technical Assistance and Reforms Support (EU Water STARS).
“Cairo Water Week is an important platform that supports Egypt’s position as a regional hub for integrated water management and knowledge sharing. It was a pleasure to participate in the high level policy dialogue conducted with the Egyptian authorities, the Union for Mediterranean and other stakeholders during the 2nd EU-UfM-Egypt Water Governance and Business Forum,” said Christian Berger, Ambassador of the EU to Egypt.
