by:Ms. Eleni Manoli (NTUA), Mr. Thanos Aggelis-Dimakis (NTUA), Prof. Dionysis Assimacopoulos (NTUA), Dr. Ioannis Glekas (Aeoliki Ltd, Cyprus), Mr. Charis Omorphos (WDD, Cyprus), Mr. Ahmed Bouzid (CITET, Tunisia), Mr. Belgacem Hanchi (CITET, Tunisia), Dr. Fathy El Gamal (WMRI, Egypt), Prof. Samy El-Fellaly (MALR, Egypt), Prof. Magdy Abou Rayan (IC, Egypt), Mr. Claude Tabbal (C&D, Lebanon), Ms. Roula Sleiman (C&D, Lebanon), Mr. Malek Haddad (SIC, Syrian Arab Republic), Mr. Khatim Kherraz (ABHCSM, Algeria), Dr. Abderrahmane Affia (ISKANE, Morocco)

The Deliverable summarizes the work undertaken within the framework of Work Package 3 of the INECO project, on the “Identification of responsible WM authorities, institutional structures, policies and water allocation mechanisms”. The Deliverable is structured in two parts:

  • Part I is divided in two sections: Section 1 provides an overview of the INECO framework, approach and phases, and elaborates on the institutional analysis and the identification of focal water management problems outlined in Part II of the report. Section 2 performs a brief overview of the current water governance challenges faced in the MENA region, and outlines commonalities and gaps among the focal water management problems analysed within the framework of the project.
  • Part II contains the reports, elaborated by the Regional Partners of the project. Contributions contain information on (a) the current situation regarding water exploitation and use in the corresponding countries, (b) an analysis of the institutional framework governing the water sector, (c) a description of constraints and focal water management problems experienced at the national and/or regional levels, and (d) the outcomes of Stakeholder Analysis performed within the framework of the Project.

Adapted indicators for institutional assessment in an IWRM context
by: Ms. G.Z. Chalvatzi (NTUA), Mr. Aggelos Panagiotakis (NTUA), Prof. Dionysis Assimacopoulos (NTUA), Dr. Ioannis Glekas (Aeoliki Ltd, Cyprus), Mr. Charis Omorphos (WDD, Cyprus), Mr. Ahmed Bouzid (CITET, Tunisia), Mr. Belgacem Hanchi (CITET, Tunisia), Dr. Fathy El Gamal (WMRI, Egypt), Prof. Samy El-Fellaly (MALR, Egypt), Prof. Magdy Abou Rayan (IC, Egypt), Mr. Claude Tabbal (C&D, Lebanon), Ms. Roula Sleiman (C&D, Lebanon), Mr. Malek Haddad (SIC, Syrian Arab Republic), Mr. Khatim Kherraz (ABHCSM, Algeria), Dr. Abderrahmane Affia (ISKANE, Morocco)

The Deliverable presents the work undertaken in WP 4 of the project for the adaptation of indicators for institutional assessment. The deliverable is structured in three chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Introduction, provides an overview of the role for assessment indicators within the project, emphasizing on the context of their adaptation to the specific regional case study contexts;
  • Chapter 2 provides a review of existing indicator frameworks, based on literature information on: (a) Definition, purpose and use of indicators; (b) Most popular indicator development models, namely the bottom-up, the top-down, the systemic, and the cause-effect approaches; (c) Current indicator development efforts including efforts from international organisations to specify, select, and categorise indicators so as to enable their use in water related projects.
  • Chapter 3 focuses on the adaptation of IWRM indicators to the regional context within INECO project. Each section of the chapter provides an overview of the focal problem in each region followed by a set of indicators, selected to describe the problem causes and effects.
