Strategic Foresight Group/SFG: vattensamarbete ME fas 2, 2014-17. Strategic Foresight Group/SFG: water cooperation in the ME phase 2, 2014-17. - Strategic Foresight Group/SFG: Experience exchange As an extension to the support to dialogue and public opinion around water resources in the Middle East, SFG intends after a request from partners to deepen and further develop the work for positive change within institutions for transboundary water cooperation. The exchange of experiences and enhanced knowledge and information are realised through learning journeys and regional network meetings and conferences, where journalists, politicians and experts gather. A new and important component in this contribution, is the ambition to promote inclusive water by providing voice also to poor or marginalised people who at the same time are water users. I en uppföljning till ett stöd om dialog och opinionsarbete kring vattenresursfrågor i Mellanöster, avser SFG på efterfrågan från regionala partners att fördjupa och vidarutveckla arbetet för positiv förändring inom institutioner för gränsöverskridande vattensamarbete. Erfarenhetsutbyten samt utökad kunskap och information främjas genom studieresor och nätverksträffar eller konferenser i regionen, där journalister, politiker och experter samlas. En viktig ny komponent i denna insats är ambitionen att verka för inkluderande vatten, genom att även ge plats åt röster från fattiga eller marginaliserade människor som vattenbrukare. The SFG intervention overall objective is to create a social infrastructure, based on networks and learning groups, for shared water resources management in the MENA region. The objective aligns to previous works that SFG has received both Sida funds for and gained international recognition for, such as the experience exchange work 2012-2014 and the break-through work of The Blue Peace, where pathways and links between water resources collaboration between riparian states and peace, were explored and demonstrated.In the current proposal of Experience Exchange for regional water cooperation in the Middle East, phase 2 (2014-2017), this work is both expanded and deepened following explicit demands from stakeholders in the region. The project continues to strengthen networks and to increase learning exchanges for transboundary water collaboration among opinion makers in the region, but it also aims to create vertical integration in the water discourse in the Middle East from high end policy concerns to grassroot level concerns. The outreach work of SFG to further strengthen and expand the Blue Peace community of media leaders, parliamentarians, former ministers, government officials, water experts and others, remains.
