In preparation for the 37th session of the Regional Conference for the Near East (NERC 37), FAO Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa (FAO-RNE) is organizing a virtual Regional Technical Dialogue on Water, titled “Water Use Efficiency and Water Productivity within Sustainability Boundaries for Resilient Transformation of Agrifood Systems in the NENA Region “. The event will take place on September 25, 2023, from 11:00- 14:00 (Cairo time) via Zoom Platform

The Regional Technical Dialogue on Water aims to provide a forum through which member countries, stakeholders, and development partners can exchange information and lessons learned on the Dialogue’s main topic and propose joint action at regional and sub-regional levels. It also seeks to assist FAO-RNE in identifying water-related regional priorities, gaps, and challenges to better shape potential future work programmes in the Region.

    Based on the dialogue deliberations, recommendations to guide NERC-37 water-related discussions will be drafted, with a special focus on the primary response options necessary to accelerate agrifood systems transformation and bring back agricultural water use within sustainable limits towards a more productive future.
