Synopsis (short abstract) The AQUASTAT Programme was initiated with a view to presenting a comprehensive picture of water resources and irrigation in the countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and providing systematic, up-to-date and reliable information on water for agriculture and rural development. This report presents the results of the most recent survey carried out in the 18 countries of the Middle East region, and it analyses the changes that have occurred in the ten years since t he first survey. Following the AQUASTAT methodology, the survey relied as much as possible on country-based statistics and information. The report consists of three sections. Section I describes in detail the methodology used. Section II contains the regional analysis which presents a synopsis on water resources development and irrigation in the region, including a more detailed description of four transboundary river basins: the Euphrates-Tigris, Kura-Araks, Asi-Orontes and Jord an river basins. Section III contains the detailed profiles on the situation in each country.

    Strengthening Policy and Leadership Capacities for Transforming Agrifood Systems in the Nena Region - TCP/RAB/3805 2024
    Also available in:
    The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region has a crucial need for capacity development in leadership and decision-making in agriculture, food security and related areas. In order to ensure the state of the art knowledge and skills required, leadership in the region’s agriculture sector needed to be strengthened. Before the project, the sector’s leaders lacked real time information and analytical capacities, particularly in such specialized areas as climate change mitigation and adaptation for agriculture, water management, soil health, plant production and protection, livestock and fisheries management, and agribusiness. The overall aim of the project was to build capacities in these areas through specifically designed and tailored training for stakeholders at political, senior, middle and junior levels. It would do this in two ways. The first would involve the establishment of the FAO Regional Leadership Academy (RLA), a structure that would collaborate with important agriculture academic, training and research institutions across the NENA region.

    Il a été constaté un besoin urgent de développement des capacités en matière de leadership et de prise de décision dans les domaines de l'agriculture, de la sécurité alimentaire et des domaines connexes dans la région du Proche-Orient et de l'Afrique du Nord. Afin de garantir que les connaissances et les compétences de pointe requises soient disponibles, le leadership dans le secteur agricole de la région doit être renforcé. Avant la mise en œuvre du projet, les dirigeants du secteur ne disposaient pas des informations en temps réel et des capacités d'analyse requises, en particulier dans des domaines spécialisés tels que l'atténuation et l'adaptation au changement climatique dans le secteur agricole, la gestion de l'eau, la santé des sols, la production et la protection des plantes, la gestion du bétail et de la pêche et l'agro-industrie.
