Principles
• The work has been based on the following elements:– A clear convergence with local policies, seeking
complementarities.– Finding specialized partners, in some sectors, in order to achieve
better results and an efficient, long‐term management of aid.– A regional dimension in the approach and execution of certain
actions, in order to achieve greater effectiveness and better results.
– Other elements have also been taken into consideration, such as equality between men and women, environmental sustainability, support for social minorities and capacity building of agricultural pp p y g gassociations.

Context
• Water is one of the least developed sectors in the Mediterranean Basin. The complex circumstances in the region have hindered adequate control of aquifers.
• There are not enough management plans.O ff t i d t l t th i t f• Our efforts are aimed not only at the improvement of infrastructure, the construction of cisterns to collect rainwater, the rehabilitation of water wells and the ,renovation of wastewater drainage systems, but also at organizing awareness counseling programs about environmental conservation and rational use of waterenvironmental conservation and rational use of water.
