New World Bank-FAO paper on water management in fragile systems

  • New World Bank-FAO paper on water management in fragile systems

About the entity

-Water
UN-Water coordinates the efforts of UN entities and international organizations working on water and sanitation issues.

Countries in the Middle East and North Africa have been at the forefront in developing practices and institutions to manage scarce water resources in the context of a largely arid and highly variable climate. However, the scale of the current water crisis is unprecedented and requires coordinated responses across institutions in many locations.

A new discussion paper by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Bank finds that institutional failures to address water-related challenges can act as risk multipliers, compounding existing situations of fragility. But improving water management can contribute to building resilience in the face of protracted crises.
