The 5th Arab Water Forum is a product of more than a year-and-a-half of collaborative effort and preparations with stakeholders from all the Arab region including policy-makers, multilateral specialized institutions, academia, civil society and the private sector, among others. Under the overarching Slogan “Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development”, the 5th AWF is intended to address three main priorities: Arab Water Security; Cooperation across Borders and Water for Sustainable Development including more than 14 different topics as well as cross cutting Means and Tools. Each priority and topic was carefully developed, in collaboration with regional partners, government representatives, NGOs, professional networks and academic groups into a common framework of goals and concrete targets. The Forum is expected to achieve collective action and positive response that will influence the desired change by bridging the science-policy interface. The Forum will also include a parallel track with about seven Scientific Sessions.
Over the years, the number of people participating in the Forum has increased from both the international community and Arab countries. The Forum connects over 800+ water sector professionals, innovators and decision-makers from across 22 Arab Countries and partners as well as international collaborators, to discuss imminent water challenges and effective solutions to tackle them in the Arab region. By participating in the 5th Arab Water Forum, you will actively contribute to responding to the real-time challenges of water resources management, water supply and sanitation.
The complexity of the water-related challenges can only be understood through proper consideration of all. Concerted efforts are highly needed to improve livelihoods of communities and individuals and reinforce resilience to environmental stress including improvement of water supply, access and governance.
This can be achieved through tailored policy formulation that addresses the needs of all groups and recognizes their basic rights in water supply and sanitation aiming at building peaceful and prosperous societies, sustaining healthy livelihoods and maintaining the dignity of all human beings.
Within this context, the Arab Water Council will be organizing its 5th Arab Water Forum in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in 2020. We look forward to your participation in this vital event to share knowledge and experience towards achieving “Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development”, which will also be an important milestone for reflecting on the Arab Region’s views in preparation for the 9th World Water Forum in 2021.
The key message in this stage is about seeking a cooperative and cohesive society that includes all of the integrated components in a nexus approach. More than ever, the dialogue between different actors is required for investigating innovative solutions and for the mobilization of public and private actions in order to promote better water security and sustainability. With the overarching theme “Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development,” the 5th Arab Water Forum indeed proposes to foster this dialogue, and to promote cooperation and exchange of knowledge and insights.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome all participants to the Forum in Abu Dhabi. We render ourselves available to help obtain the best possible results as an outcome of the event. Join us to exchange views and help upgrade the quality of life of people in the Arab region. It is truly an opportunity not to be missed.
