National Dialogues on Conjunctive Surface Water and Groundwater Management in Albania, Montenegro, Morocco and Tunisia under the UNEP/GEF MedProgramme (April 2024)
The Dialogues are co-organized by UNESCO together with Ministries and key national institutions in Albania, Montenegro, Morocco and Tunisia.
The National Dialogues seek to bring together national stakeholders with the objectives of identifying potential conjunctive management solutions for selected priority coastal aquifers, namely the Buna-Bojana shared by Albania and Montenegro, the Ras Jebel in Tunisia and the Rhiss-Nekor in Morocco.
Participants will be presented with the main principles and concepts of Conjunctive Management and will be informed about recent findings of the MedProgramme on the assessment of coastal aquifers, which will provide the basis for discussions. The Dialogues will promote information sharing and dissemination, and leverage capacity building opportunities.
The conclusions and recommendations from this series of national dialogues will be published by UNESCO and broadly disseminated.
