The LDK Consultants Project and EU funded SWIM-H2020 SM Project organized a National Meeting in Lebanon around sustainable water resources and a clean environment in the Mediterranean, on July the 5th 2018, in Beirut.
The aim of the National Meeting in Lebanon was to present what was achieved so far, and what is yet to be implemented till April 2019 when the programme would end.
The National Meeting in Lebanon offered, through the planned panel discussion, the opportunity to other key projects, donors and processes working on various aspects of sustainable water management and environmental protection in Lebanon with positive impact on the Mediterranean as a whole, to also present their status and progress, promoting in this way complementarity and synergies.
The National Meeting was attended by 50 attendees representing the Office of the Prime Minister, the EU Delegation to Lebanon, the Ministry of Energy and Water, the Ministry of Environment, International Organizations, Academia, Environmental NGOs and the Media.
