  1. REGIONAL KNOWLEDGE WATER NETWORK Regional Knowledge Network on Systemic Approaches to Water Resources Management 2013 – 2015

  2. AGENDA • OBJECTIVE • EXPECTED RESULTS • TARGET COUNTRIES • RWKN DEVELOPMENT • METHODOLOGY • PROJECT PARTNERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

  3. Objective The use of Systemic Approaches to Integrated Water Resources Management throughout the region among local authorities, other decision-makers, researchers, experts, practitioners and other stakeholders has improved

  4. Expected Results • The project is adequately managed and administered • The Regional Water Knowledge Network (RWKN) has been established • Lessons learned of successful demo projects applying systemic approaches to water management are collected and distributed over the Network • Knowledge, insights and awareness on systemic approaches to sustainable water resource management has been increased, shared and disseminated • Guiding papers on systemic approaches that could be applied to Natural Resources Management have been developed and distributed • The capacity of local authorities to use systemic approaches has been strengthened

  5. Target Countries • Morocco • Egypt • Palestine • Lebanon • Jordan

  6. RWKN DEVELOPMENT The Regional Water Knowledge Network (RWKN) is an organized interaction between institutions who have a common interest and who are looking to increase the effectiveness of their work. The aim of the RWKN is to foster capacity building, shared learning, networking and exchange of experience between the major actors in the water sector to promote systemic approaches to IWRM.

  7. RWKN DEVELOPMENT • Promoting systemic approaches to IWRM. • Mutual learning and networking to support each other with each others’ specific knowledge and excellence; • Encouraging cooperation between institutions in the Arab region and connecting RKWN nodes with other global and regional water initiatives and institutions. • Documenting what is learned and capitalizing on know-how in existing institutions in the region. • Organizing around specific water resource systems relevant for the region with demonstration projects as learning ground. • Joint development of new ideas, activities and projects • Embarking on multi-stakeholder platforms at different levels (watershed, national, regional).

  8. RWKN DEVELOPMENT • To be of value, these sub-networks must improve the effectiveness of all the members participating in it and will contribute to: • Encouraging mentoring relationships between the more established member organizations and the less experienced ones. • Avoiding duplication of efforts by sharing knowledge. • Ensuring efforts complement each other. • Enhancing opportunities for collaboration on projects. • Allowing understanding of common issues. • Increasing possibilities for mutual learning experiences. • Improving access to knowledge. • Benefiting from common fund raising and use of resources. • Boosting the effectiveness of lobbying and advocacy. • Mobilizing additional staff and financial resources, and making better use of existing resources.
