This activity aims to strengthen the system of support and promotion of green entrepreneurship through the integration of a specific training offer in the university environment addressed to university teachers and young Algerian university students and likely to contribute to sustainable development of the green and circular economy in Algeria.
The increase of sedimentation is a serious problem for water reservoirs. Well designed water dams offer a good tool for proper water management. WES will support Tunisia in finding mitigation measures for sedimentation of the Lebna and Siliana dams.
Through Private Sector Participation, WES is aiming to increase financial ability for self-finance and enable applying the tariffs
The rapid urban growth in Jordan is accompanied by a reduction of recharge to the groundwater sources and an increase in storm water flows. Because of a lack of natural infiltration areas for water, there is a severe loss of water yields to groundwater adding to the water scarcity in the country. This activity will identify appropriate Natural Water Retention Measures to be implemented in two pilot zones.
WES will assist Egypt in the development of financing mechanisms allowing the private sector to be involved and to improve water network management and resource efficiency at the on-farm level. The aim of this activity will be to contribute to increasing agricultural water productivity.
This activity will assist a selected public water utility (l’Algérien Des Eaux – ADE) to target the reduction of non-revenue water (NRW) and continue its efforts to improve the management of NRW.
Taking up from the groundwork achieved by SWIM-H2020 SM and aiming to support the PCs in the implementation of tools to monitor and classify C&DW (and WEEE), a short user-friendly publication will be produced on the tools available, targeting policy makers. Opportunities to locally valorise the materials (circular economy approach), effectively engaging the local stakeholders, using PPPs will be highlighted.
WES is to build the capacity of PCs on Water Demand Management as a mean to influence the water demand and usage of water to meet any of the following objectives and/or combination of them: economic efficiency, social development, social equity, environmental protection, sustainability of water supply and services, and political acceptability.
The regional event will highlight effective circular economy solutions already in place (with a focus on business models). It will target mainly Business Support Organisations and policy makers to inspire them to effectively support circular economy businesses.
The purpose of the specific regional activity is to build the capacity of the Partner Countries (PCs) on Non-Revenue Water (including the role of GIS in facilitating NRW management).
