Water Diplomacy is more than just a practice; it is a strategic commitment to ensuring the sustainable and equitable management of water resources. INWRDAM plays a pivotal role in advancing water diplomacy across the MENA region and within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states by fostering constructive dialogue and collaboration among governments, communities, and organizations.
A key aspect of our water diplomacy efforts involves the development of comprehensive policy papers and the critical review of existing policies and regulatory frameworks in MENA countries. These policy papers are instrumental in identifying gaps, challenges, and opportunities within current water governance structures. They provide actionable recommendations aimed at enhancing policies and regulatory frameworks to better address the complex and evolving challenges of water management in the region.
INWRDAM’s work doesn’t stop at developing these recommendations; we actively advocate for their adoption and implementation. Through our Community of Practice (CoP), we support stakeholders in advocating for the results of these policy papers within their own countries. The CoP serves as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, enabling members to share insights, best practices, and innovative solutions. By fostering a collaborative environment, the CoP empowers stakeholders to adapt and implement best practices that are tailored to their unique national contexts, thereby promoting the sustainable management of water resources at both the national and regional levels.
Our commitment to water diplomacy and policy advocacy is driven by the belief that informed, evidence-based policymaking is essential for achieving sustainable water management and regional stability. By bridging the gap between research and practice, INWRDAM ensures that the recommendations we put forward are not only technically sound but also practically feasible, paving the way for a secure and sustainable water future for all.
