IUCN Regional Office for West Asia ROWA
REGIONAL WATER AND DRYLANDS PROGRAMME
REWARD
IUCN ROWAREWARD
REWARD = multi-donor and multi –project programme
REWARD is core funded by DGCS/Italy through the WESCANA Regional Water Project (2006-2009)
Other funding thus far:
WANI+SAIC + UNDP + EU + GEF: Jordan
WANI + GWP + INWENT: Regional
WANI + GEF: Egypt + Palestine
(WANI = IUCN Water and Nature Initiative – core funding from DGIS/Netherlands)
IUCN WAMEREWARD
GOAL• Develop Systemic approaches to planning and
management of water resources on a watershed/river basin basis
IUCN ROWARegional Water Programme
With special attention to
• Developing practical methodologies
• Influencing policies through networks
• Poverty alleviation and gender
• Involvement of all stakeholders (including local communities)
IUCN WESCANARegional Water Programme
As well as attention to
• Environmental concerns and watershed dynamics (down/up stream effects) and interaction with ground water management
• Potential use of DSTs
• Economic analysis that takes into account environmental services
• Climate change
IUCN WAMEREWARD
The programme is build on two pillars:
1)A Regional Water Knowledge Network
Networking, shared learning, capacity building, policy influencing
2) Demonstration projects Testing on the ground of approaches in selected watersheds, strengthening the RWKN
RWKN Development
• Management of water resources in mountain watersheds.
• Management of oasis and the related ground water resources.
• Management of water resources in large river systems (with an emphasis on irrigation/drainage management).
• Management of water resources in urban water-scarce environments

Ground water Sub-Network/Dialogue
• Facts:– Severe water scarcities; – High over-exploitation of ground water resources;– Deterioration of water quality; – Low conjunctivity of ground, surface and rainwater; – Few alternative options for water resources
(desalinization; use of treated waste water. – High environmental negative impact on ecosystems and
human development of not dealing well with environmental flows and conjunctive use of all water resources.
• In a context of strong economic development, population growth and increasing demand for (quality) water; there is: Critical need for approaches, tools and policies to
propose long-term solutions for management and monitoring of groundwater and other water resources.
• This Dialogue will be put in the larger perspective of IWRM but focus on groundwater and its conjunctive use and management with other water resources (surface water, rainwater, use of waste water, desalinization of saline water).
Ground water Sub-Network/Dialogue
Focus• Developing tools and approaches for planning and
management (stakeholder dialogue, participatory planning, ground water toolkits, system tools).
• Developing instruments for economic analysis that take into account environmental and social dimensions of environmental flows and their impact on ecosystems and human development.
• Interaction with similar initiatives in other regions where ground water management and conjunctive use are critical issues (a.o. through the IUCN Global Water Programme: IUCN Water and Nature Initiative (WANI).
• Recommendations for policy reform that builds on above approaches and instruments.

Demonstration projects in the region
Initiated:
Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Yemen
+ Lebanon
Potential:
Iran, Saudi Arabia and Morocco(dependent on additional funding)
IUCN WAMEREWARD
IUCN ROWARegional Water Programme
The programme builds on the EMPOWERS experience gained in the last years in the Middle East with :
• Participatory Water Planning Cycle (PWPC)
• Stakeholder Dialogue and Concerted Action
• (SDCA)
SDCA = vertical + horizontal stakeholder dialogue, planning and action

Participatory Water Planning Cycle
Steps and ActivitiesVisioning: Initial visioning and problem identification
Assessing: Targeted data collection and analysis; creation of a shared information base
Strategizing: Scenario building and development of strategies to meet the vision under different scenarios
Planning: Detailed planning based on most likely scenarios and related strategies
Implementing: Execution of plans and (pilot) projects Reflecting: analysis of monitoring and process documentation to
inform further planning cycles
