Monitoring and evaluation for water in North Africa (MEWINA)

April 2010 - The Center for Environment and Development for the Arab Region and Europe (CEDARE) received a of €2 million grant to increase the six North-AMCOW countries capacity in water sector monitoring and evaluation (M&E) through the setting up of a mechanism that allows North-AMCOW to annually report on the status of the water sector, using harmonized and comparable information. This will enable decision-makers of the North African countries to: i) assess the state of existing water sector M&E system; ii) establish a sub-regional water sector M&E system and mechanism in place which allows North African countries and North-AMCOW to monitor and report on the status of water sector through standardized data and harmonized information; iii) prepare a regional M&E action plan and programme and mobilize adequate resources for its implementation through partnerships.
