Global Water Partnership Mediterranean (GWP-Med)

"There is awareness about water, much more about the importance of water and about the interconnectedness of water issues with all other issues. This has become clear. Still some parts of the water issues – sanitation remains a little bit isolated – but for the rest it’s better. The other change is that the quality and quantity issues are again better understood within the sector.

My hope for the future is less fragmentation. There are too many organizations and initiatives, some of which are very self-serving. I hope for more substance; and for countries and parties to be more serious in their commitments."
