CHALLENGES FACED DURING 1ST YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION
CHALLENGES:1. Political instability in the Region: 2. Occasional lack of safety and security in some countries.3. Frequent changes in governments and water sector leaderships.4. Occasional reluctance in disclosing water & environment data & information.5. Some misconception about the nature of regional projects versus bilateral
projects.6. Multi-disciplinary character of the project, involving socio-economic,
legislative & environmental aspects of IWRM.IMPACTS ON PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION:7. Overdue realisation of the 1st PSC meeting to 7 December 2011 rather than 16
September 2011 compressing the implementation period to less than 9 months.8. Delay in the mobilisation of the NKEs.9. Debate about the merits of Regional versus National activities delaying the
implementation process.10.Challenge 6 led to a overutilization of the non-key experts' man-days.

HIGHLIGHTED ACHIEVEMENTS
1. Mutual understanding & strong collaboration were realized among countries of the region with dynamic exchange of experience, success stories & best practices during regional dialogues & EGMs.
2. Mainstreaming of water issues in water relevant sectors was well perceived & accepted by water officials & considered as precondition for the management of water resources within the IWRM context.
3. Good water governance was recognized as the foundation for the three pillars of IWRM & should be addressed as such by PCs.
4. Desalination using RESs was recognized as a NCWR of great potential in the region provided that all other water demand management options & allocative efficiency were exhausted.

SELECTED TANGIBLE RESULTS
1. PCs have at their disposal clear guidelines on how to integrate CC adaptation plans into IWRM policies.
2. A number of water & environment officials from PCs are now trained on no-regret actions to support the adaptation of the water sector to CC.
3. PCs have detailed guideline & methodology of assessing economic considerations for deciding on desalination projects.
4. PCs are aware of BATNEEC in both desalination & wastewater treatment & reuse in rural areas.
5. Capacity of water & environment professionals was developed on WW & desalination best practices including field visits.
6. Challenges & constraints in the management of WUAs were identified, with clear policy options on improvement through M&E.
7. Capacity of WUA officials was developed through training & field visits.8. Status of water resources planning in the region is assessed with focus on
shortcomings & challenges in IWRM planning & implementation.9. A dialogue established among water, environment, agriculture & water supply &
wastewater practitioners on planning IWRM with focus on mainstreaming & horizontal coordination.

LESSONS LEARNT FROM FIRST YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION
1. The work plan for the 1st year was designed to offer a vast array of activities to meet the beneficiary countries’ needs & expectations. Through the implementation of these priorities, the SWIM-SM team was able to analyse & focus more on genuine country-driven issues during the next implementation period.
2. The absence of an agreed Euro-Med policy on water is not of assistance for the project’s political anchorage at the regional level; the latter should have been offered by the stalled UfM Draft Strategy on Water in the Med.
3. SWIM-SM to focus on fewer activities of higher impact & visibility in order to leave a legacy.
![Page 20: Session I: Overview of progress of the SWIM program. Session I: Overview of progress of the SWIM program. 17-18 October 2012, Brussels 1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551b6c2c550346d6338b4bba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. The project would be better suited to work on synergies among processes & to focus more in-depth on burning issues affecting the region.
5. Study tours on priority water issues following training undertaken by leading European water training centres & institutions appeared to be of great merit.

![Page 21: Session I: Overview of progress of the SWIM program. Session I: Overview of progress of the SWIM program. 17-18 October 2012, Brussels 1](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551b6c2c550346d6338b4bba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1. In preparation for the 2013 work plan, the SWIM team held a 2 days brainstorming session concentrating on issues & requests raised during the first year of implementation & assessed the needs & issues to be tackled in the framework of the 4 pillars.
2. SWIM-SM will address priority water issues intensively not extensively.
3. The merits of study tours appeared evident & included in the proposed 2013 work-plan for the following reasons:• To expose young water professionals in PCs to the best water
resources management practices in Europe, • To witness the EU water directive in practice, • To provide the opportunity for the replication of BPs, and • To establish a North-South Med dialogue among water &
environment practitioners.21
