MEDWA Designing of Project (1) Establishment of causal relationship of Problems identified in Jordan and Palestine within the context of the four horizontal themes of the programme: Strengthening of institutional capacities and training Exchange of information and know how Transfer of know how and technology Awareness raising, mobilisation and promotion of commitment of the population
MEDWA Designing of Project (2) Second Step Further elaboration of the problem Analysis led to a common problem tree which is relevant for the whole Region (Jordan River basin) and which shows The following relationship:

MEDWA Two Approaches Technical Approach Socio Economic Approach
MEDWA Situation of Irrigation System (1) Strongly impaired due to socioeconomic, cultural and technological deficiencies Inefficient and ineffective water management of national water resources Outdated and partly leaking water networks which result in bad water quality
MEDWA Situation of Irrigation System (2) Inefficient irrigation networks Limited quantities of water per household Lack of training of population with regards to the optimal use of limited Water resources
MEDWA Role of Women Women carry the heaviest load in agriculture Women are often not included in decision making processes and educational facilities Main problem: traditional division of roles in the society and lack of technical training Some initiatives of local NGOs, which aim at supporting and revaluating women Issue not considered a relevant strategic goal nor a priority topic
MEDWA Stakeholder Analysis (1) Conduction of stakeholder analysis as a result of the problem analysis Separate analysis for both Jordan and Palestine
MEDWA Stakeholder Analysis (2) Governmental Bodies and NGOs Farmers Unions and Local Communities Women s Committees Farmers Households and end users Water Associations and Wells Cooperatives International Agencies (financing and implementing institutions)

MEDWA Objective Tree Analysis Increase possibility of Irrigated Agriculture in Palestine &Jordan Higher Revenue of Unit water Volume Decrease Cost of Irrigation Water Common understanding Between Irrigation Water Users and Owners Improving Irrigation Water Management Implementation of efficient Water Supply Management Structures Establishment of effective fora for experience exchange in MEDA-Zone Implementation and Training in Efficient Water Demand Management Insuring additional water resources by reuse of treated wastewater Rehabilitation of Production Wells Protection of water Quality Rehabilitation of deteriorated Irrigation networks Increasing Irrigation Water Storage Facilities Stimulating Win- Win-Co-operations between supplier and consumer Improving Farmers Organized Involvement Transfer of Modern Techniques Improving of Know- How Better Control on Water Pumping Improving Financial Resources availability Improving Financial Resources availability Improved women involvement in water management Better Contact with Advanced World
MEDWA Overall Objective Improving the Stakeholder Participatory Sustainable Water Management at Farm Level through MEDA cooperation with Jordan and Palestine
MEDWA - Objective verifiable indicators of Achievement (Overall Objective) Increased interaction of stakeholders in irrigation water management Increased technical and know-how capacities of stakeholders Sustainable infrastructure and demonstration projects Sustainable Association, Corporate and cluster structures
MEDWA Project Purpose Implementation of efficient water demand management Implementation of efficient water supply management Establishment of effective fora for experience exchange to strengthen interactive stakeholder capacities in irrigation water management
MEDWA - Objective verifiable indicators of Achievement (1) 69 Training courses 14 Training manuals and brochures 10 cooperative pilot projects on wastewater treatment and irrigation networks 150 Demonstrations on irrigation and brackish water technologies
MEDWA - Objective verifiable indicators of Achievement (2) 133 metallic reservoirs (communal & individual) constructed 95 water cisterns constructed and renovated 6 production wells rehabilitated 45 permaculture home gardens established 90 individual household wastewater treatment units implemented
MEDWA - Objective verifiable indicators of Achievement (3) 6 Water Associations and Cooperatives established & trained 7 annual stakeholder fora conducted 4 national pools available for international transfer of water technologies and Know-How 9 exchange visits 1 Conference on Irrigation Water Management
MEDWA Expected Results (1) Increased visibility of MEDA and socio - economic benefits of regional co-operation operation Transfer of know-how and technology on sustainable irrigation water management between Europe and MEDA countries Increased education and public awareness of the problems and opportunities in the water sector
MEDWA Expected Results (2) Cooperative pilot and demonstration projects for Increasing the quantity and quality of water for irrigation purposes Establishing Water Associations & Well Cooperatives with special emphasis on women empowerment Installing a transparent and concise Project Management, Controlling and Reporting Structure for the project
