Cooperative Research with EWP

The Egyptian Water Partnership (EWP) is a non-profit and non-political informal platform to discuss water issues and water policies, exchange information and start joint activities between different stakeholders and water players, particularly the MWRI.
The mission of the EWP is to promote sustainable management of water resources at national and local levels, through effective implementation of integrated water resources management principles.  The EWP works in close collaboration to put Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in practice.

EWP serves as an independent stakeholder platform, a vehicle to promote IWRM principles, capacity building and awareness on IWRM in Egypt. The Partnership will achieve this in a multi-disciplinary approach by bringing together organizations from a range of backgrounds to share knowledge and develop common vision for facing water problems in a participatory approach. The EWP aims at making water everybody’s business in Egypt.  EWP is the avenue for public hearing on water related issues and for awareness on water issues and IWRM. The priority issues identified for action in the EWP plan of work are:

• Confronting Egypt’s water scarcity 
• Water pollution abatement and protection
• Water rights and equity
• Partnership towards attaining the water Millennium Development Goals.

  

The EWP is a multi-stakeholder platform, which comprises four major categories of partners. These are:

1. Governmental institutions (ministries) 
2. Academia and National Consulting Firms
3. End Users
4. Other Civil Society Members
