News Call for Proposals for civil society capacity-building projects in Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia

Mr. Tim Jones, DJEnvironmental on behalf of Wetlands International has announced a Call for Proposals for civil society capacity-building projects in Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia, in the field of integrated water resource management.

In the framework of the project Engaging Civil Society in Water Management in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Region funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the implementing partner, Wetlands International, is seeking project proposals from Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia.

The primary objective of proposed projects must be the building of capacity of civil society organizations to engage effectively in water-resource planning and management at river-basin level. This must include:

  • Enhancing the capacity of the civil society sector to support and participate in the implementation of integrated approaches to water management (including engaging organisations or groups sensitive to women issues, e.g. NGOs, universities);
  • Engaging organisations responsible for river basin management to ensure that they are enabled to apply the necessary approaches, tools, mechanisms and know-how in and integrated water (and wetland) resource management including approaches to engage civil society;
  • Developing civil society knowledge concerning policy and practical aspects of wetlands and water management.

•    The final deadline for the receipt of project proposals is 5 November 2007.
•    Proposals may be submitted in either English or French.
•    A formal agreement will be drawn up between Wetlands International and the proponents of the one selected project in each country for signature before 31 December 2007.

Proposals must be submitted jointly by at least one governmental body/agency and at least one civil society organization.
