About Egypt
Water and agriculture entities are looking for all forms of integration and cooperation with international organizations to highlight and contribute to resolve the agricultural-water challenges in Egypt. WaPOR data can help the monitor land and crop productivity so that more crops can be grown with the available water resources that are already stretched thin. From October 2019 until April 2020, Egypt was one of WaPOR phase 1 partner countries. Following the recommendations of the first phase, the second phase of the project will be more demand driven so as to adequately respond to stakeholders’ needs and priorities.
Project milestones:

WaPOR partnerships in Egypt

As of now, the project document has been signed by the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation which is a key partner of the project. The implementation will be done by this Ministry as well as that of Agriculture and Land Reclamation.
