Deltacountry Egypt

This approach promotes sustainable and integrated water management through long-term partnerships and leverages experiences and results from previous Partner for Water programmes. Discover our partnership with Egypt and how you can participate below.

Integrated coastal management
As part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was renewed for five years in 2020, Partners for Water and the Government of Egypt collaborate to enhance integrated coastal management in Egypt. We do so by concentrating on building the capacity of local stakeholders when creating pathways that integrate Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) into coastal zones. In this process, we make significant efforts to aid local knowledge on coastal issues and challenges.

Water and agriculture
Partners for Water collaborates with the Egyptian Government to enhance water management and water and climate adaptation in relation to agriculture in Egypt’s Nile delta. We support the development of sustainable water-use solutions in agriculture to help safeguard Egypt’s groundwater reserves and mitigate the salinization of coastal soils.

Water supply and sanitair
Partners for Water and the Government of Egypt collaborate to enhance water supply and sanitair in Egypt.  Key areas of our cooperation include modernising Egypt’s wastewater treatment plants to enhance the reuse of treated effluent and to reduce the CO2-equivalent emissions from the plants. Additionally, we support the upscaling of sustainable and circular sanitation solutions to peri-urban and rural areas in Egypt. Water supply and sanitair
