The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) is organising a Ministerial Meeting on Water on 27 April in Malta. The Meeting aims to provide further deepened political impetus to the definition of a future UfM Water Agenda. The objective of this Agenda would be to provide a consensual regional water policy framework that can lead to a substantial positive impact on the sustainable livelihood in the region.

The UfM Ministerial Meeting will create an opportunity for the UfM Ministers responsible for Water to:

  • share views on water policy in the Mediterranean,
  • stress the key relevance of water in the Mediterranean region,
  • renew the commitment of countries on a regional water agenda,
  • provide guidance on contributions of the water agenda in responding to key objectives in the region, and
  • create a positive environment for the private investment and map regional funding for the water agenda through joint planning and mainstreaming.
