What is WaDImena?

WaDImena is a five-year multi-donor funded program (2004-2009) coordinated by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and in partnership with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). WaDImena contributes to effective water governance by enhancing water-use efficiency, equity and sustainability.

WaDImena aims to facilitate the adoption and implementation of water demand management strategies and tools in the countries of the MENA region: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, and to translate awareness into action for tangible impacts.

Activities are directed toward applied research, field-based pilot activities and a regional exchange facility to promote capacity development, experience sharing and knowledge networking. The project builds on the success of the WDM Forums (2002-2003) and previous research conducted by IDRC and our partners. _______________________________________________________________
