GIZ: Integrated Water Resource Management (AGIRE)

Progetto concluso

Despite the highest water availability in the Maghreb, Morocco is faced with severe overexploitation of water resources that threatens sustainable economic and social development, i.e. irrigated agriculture and water supply. The Integrated Water Resource Management project is in-line with Moroccan policy priorities and aims to develop the required competencies of water sector institutions while also harnessing rain and wastewater as alternative water resources for the future.

Contesto

Economic development and population growth paired with poor investment in competencies, legal frameworks and infrastructure of the water sector have led to considerable overexploitation of water resources, resulting in loss of vast areas of land suitable for irrigation and drinking water supply shortages. This puts social and economic development gains of the last decades at risk. Insufficiently developed competencies of the sectoral water institutions. GIZ is the main actor in the field of integrated water resource management in rural areas, contributing to the implementation of the overarching national water strategy.
