Roundtable on “Water and Agriculture in Jordan; Understanding current Water and Agricultural Priorities and Futures"

The West Asia North Africa (WANA) Institute, in partnership with the University of Oxford, is holding a roundtable on 16 July about “Water and Agriculture in Jordan; Understanding current Water and Agricultural Priorities and Futures”, a project funded by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency.

The aim of this event is to build dialogue between different water users and policy planners and makers on sustainable water use by understanding each other’s current water and agricultural priorities and futures, in order to map out ‘ideational space’ – involving stakeholders in discussions to identify their ideal and pragmatic priorities for the future of water and agriculture in Jordan.

The roundtable will discuss four main interrelated themes:

• Coordination on improved water productivity
• Complementary polices across ministries on development and use of Treated Wastewater
• Coordination of policy and action on water allocation, policy and related sectors across ministries
• Complementary policies across water, food, energy and trade.
