PROJECT PHASE IV (August 2008 - July 2011)
"Disseminating a Decision Support System (DSS) for Water Management in the Arab Region"
This project was launched in 1997 within the framework of Arab-German Technical Cooperation. Since April 2004 the project is running in its third phase. The Arab Partner is the:
Arab Centre for the Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands (ACSAD).
ACSAD is an autonomous body under the auspices of the Arab League,
promoting the enhancement and transfer of know-how related to
agricultural and socio-economic development. In this context ACSAD
plays the role of a technical advisor, training institution and common
scientific platform for the member countries of the Arab Region. (>more about ACSAD)
Funding comes from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), which commissioned the
German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR)
for implementation from the German side. BGR has been a worldwide
partner of German Technical Cooperation for decades and provides
advisory services to developing countries in a broad range of
geo-related fields. BGR is based in Hannover, Germany. (>more about BGR)
