News World Water Forum preparation, March 2012, Marseille (France) - Topic 1.5 "Contribute to Cooperation and Peace", Target 7 - Collection of solutions

In the framework of the preparation of the next World Water Forum, which will be held in Marseille in March 2012, EMWIS has been appointed as Coordinator for the Target 7, of the theme Contribute to Cooperation and Peace.

The target 7 is related to the setting up of Water Information Systems at Transboundary level and is worded as follows: By 2018, develop mechanisms to share and monitor information at the transboundary level especially on (i) scientific and social data for information systems: contribution to an online inventory and establishment of a water observatory, and (ii) indicators and guidelines for programmes monitoring the quality of cooperation and the impact of the lack of access to water on cooperation and peace-building.

Our objective is to present during the Forum the existing or innovative solutions, and to get if possible commitments on their achievement (solution = case studies illustrating real solutions that are sufficiently relevant to be selected for the Forum).

According to the timeframe defined by the ICF (International Forum Committee), the identification and collection of solutions have to be done in September and October 2011. These "solutions" will form the basis for presentations and discussions at the Forum session.

Knowing your interest in the instruments for managing transboundary waters and given your expertise in this domain, You are asked to contribute by sending us your suggestions and proposed solutions / case studies, that will illustrate this target.

You can send your proposals to the following email :

info@semide.org or e.mino@semide.org

You can also contribute through the web site concerning the solutions :
