Conclusion

 

Dear readers, 

This is the end of the series of blog posts on Water and Politics in North Africa. 

This blog aimed to focus on topics of discussion bringing together water and politics in the countries of North Africa. Whether it is Egypt's approach to the IWRM challenged by poor governance; political tension impacts the management of shared water resources between Morocco and Algeria; Tunisia's success and challenges in implementing desalination or Libya's development aspiration behind the Great Man-Made River, there is very often a political angle to the management of water resources and water crisis. In North Africa, water is an increasingly important stake for the development and stability of the region and can quickly cause violent civil response if not provided. North African governments still have multiple challenges to face to ensure water and food security in their countries and are progressively increasing local efforts to manage sustainably their resources.
