Water Demand Management and the water-food-climate nexus in the MENA region- Policy Brief by WaDimena
Climate risks are expected to compound the pressure sustained by water resource and food production systems throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The negative consequences of this water-food-climate interaction can to an extent be buffered by Water Demand Management, and specific WDM interventions are particularly well-suited for increasing the robustness of all three elements. This brief recommends the immediate uptake of these ‘best-fit’ WDM intervention types, and discusses other policy considerations relevant to the water-food-climate nexus. “This policy brief is based on an extensive collaborative research effort between the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Canadian International development Agency (CIDA).”
