To implement the recommendations
of a number of political meetings (1,
2), the
EU
put into place the Euro-Mediterranean Regional Programme
for Local Water Management, also briefly called the MEDA
Water programme. The main operational components of the
programme included
the funding of regional projects
through a Call for Proposals by the
European Commission,
resulting in the implementation of 9 projects with a
total value of 36.5 million € (EU Contribution)
the promotion of institutional strengthening, public
awareness, dissemination of project results and provision of
a feedback mechanism as an input to future national and
regional field level.
Later it was decided to finance also the
support of MED-EUWI from the MEDA Water programme budget
line.
