The Regional Office for Near East and North Africa plans to launch the inter-Regional Technical Platform on Water Scarcity virtually on June 28, 2022, from 13:00 to 15:00 (Cairo/Rome Local Time). 

We have the pleasure to inform you that the Regional Office for Near East and North Africa plans to launch the inter-Regional Technical Platform on Water Scarcity virtually on June 28, 2022, from 13:00 to 15:00 (Cairo/Rome Local Time). 

The Water Scarcity Platform is designed as a Center of Excellence that brings together experts and stakeholders from different regions, drawing on their collective knowledge, in an action-oriented and result-based partnership, to accelerate the achievement of water and food security and sustainable development in the various regions. 

The Water Scarcity Platform is expected to strengthen the engagement of existing Communities of Practices in water-related fields toward a more sustainable and more resilient future. As a hub for partnerships, exchange, and learning, the Platform will contribute to the development and dissemination of appropriate approaches, methods, and tools addressing water scarcity and water-related objectives among stakeholders and partners. It will also support scaling-up investments and pilots by enabling interaction with donors and financiers and by promoting public-private dialogue. 

In light of the above, the launch event is intended to provide an appropriate forum for the presentation of the platform activities and tools, allowing for discussion and concrete engagement. 

On this occasion, you are cordially invited to attend the launch event, which represents a unique opportunity to bring together government representatives, decision-makers, experts, practitioners, representatives of regional and international organizations, research and academic institutions, the private sector, and civil society. 

The opening ceremony is scheduled to start its activities at 1 pm (Cairo/Rome Local Time).  

We look forward to meeting you at the launch event!
