Description and results
Description
This project seeks to strengthen Iraq's negotiation and technical capacity to engage in transboundary water negotiations with the upper riparian countries of Iran, Syria and Turkey. This will enable them to obtain an equitable share of these watercourses. A three-pronged strategy is employed to achieve this. Project activities include: (1) enhancing technical capacity for negotiations; (2) supporting Iraq's participation in UN conventions and forums on transboundary water cooperation; (3) facilitating negotiations between Iraq and upper riparian countries; and (4) working to find approaches to reduce water conflict.
Expected results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) Improved access to obtain a greater share of water from the three rivers: the Euphrates, the Shatt Al-Arab and the Tigris; and (2) enabled Iraqis to better cope with scarcity and maintain their livelihoods under pressure from the effects of climate change.
