SWIM project

The SWIM-H2020 SM Project (Sustainable Water Integrated Management and Horizon 2020 Support Mechanism 2016-2019) funded by the European Union aims to contribute to reduced marine pollution and a sustainable use of scarce water resources in the countries of North Africa and the Middle East (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia). The project will provide tailored and targeted support to authorities and other stakeholders of the Partner Countries in order to tackle the reduction of industrial emissions, municipal waste and urban wastewater to the Mediterranean Sea and ensure the sustainable use of water resources. It aims to:

provide tailored and targeted technical assistance to national partners through an expert facility;

organize regional (or sub-regional) peer-to-peer seminars and webinars;

conduct on-site training courses and study tours;

capitalize on the lessons learnt, good practices and success stories;

support the Horizon 2020 Initiative’s governance mechanism and the work of the UfMS’s (Union for the Mediterranean) Water Experts Group.
