This workshop is organized in the framework of the European Union (EU) funded project “Towards a Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) in the European Neighbourhood” (ENPI-SEIS project) implemented by the European Environment Agency (EEA), and the follow up on the implementation of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) project on building capacities in environment statistics, indicators and accounts.

The goals of the workshop are to explain how water accounts and statistics can be used for fact based policy making; to provide guidance to the participants through hands-on examples, on how to implement water accounts and statistics in their countries according to SEEA-Water and IRWS, as well as using the SEIS principles. Using available data provided by the countries, the workshop will focus also on how to establish and/or strengthen the coordination mechanisms for the implementation of water accounts and statistics in the countries; and to identify the key steps in the preparation of a statistical program to complete water accounts and statistics. 

This workshop is organized for North African French speaking countries (Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Mauritius and Tunisia) will be organised with the UNSD and the Office for North Africa of UNECA, in Rabat, 11-13 September 2012.
