About WaDImena
 
The Water Demand Initiative for the Middle East and North Africa (WaDImena) is a five-year project to promote the management of water demand in the region. WaDImena currently works in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Yemen. 

What does WaDImena do?


WaDImena is turning attention toward a model based on future human needs and environmental sustainability. WaDImena advocates methods that focus on improving water-use efficiency, equity, and sustainability of existing water resources.
WaDImena aims to:
  • Improve research into water demand management and increasing the knowledge base in this area while meeting the associated challenges, taking opportunities, and creating incentives for the practical application of the research and knowledge in specific contexts, with particular focus on women and the rural poor.
  • Enhance the development of skills and strengthen individual and institutional capacity to implement water demand management
  • Create a viable network to share experiences, foster dialogue and promote partnerships among key actors
  • Strengthen relations and collaborative arrangements with national, regional and international water governance programmes to advance the water demand management agenda

Who are our partners?


WaDImena’s partners include IDRC’s Rural Poverty and Environment and Urban Poverty and Environment Program Initiatives, the Canadian International Development Agency and the International Fund for Agricultural Development, in addition to a network of research institutions and public- and private-sector organizations.
