2.4 WIMED – Wetlands as natural infrastructure (in formulation)

  • Lead organisation: Wetlands International.
  • Other partners: GWP-Med, WWF MedPO, MedWet, Tour du Valat, MAVA.
  • Brief description: The programme aims to influence water governance in the region to invest in wetlands as natural infrastructure, through two approaches; (a) a cam-paigning approach that builds on establishing a partnership between the different networks existing in the region; (b) a partnership approach that will seek to unite some of the key players in the field of water and ecosystems to join forces. Their collaboration will both underpin the civil society campaign and seek to strengthen the connection between technical resources and water resource management actors in the region
  • Time schedule: To be determined
  • Current status: Has been submitted to MAVA which has encouraged its presentation. The project title has been changed to “MedWet Partners for Water”.
