Franco Jordanian Forum on Water Sustainability / Forum Franco-Jordanien sur l'eau

Jordan being classified as one of the top water scarce countries in the world, the country is mobilized more than ever to ensure water security and sustainability.

Severe water scarcity, an ageing infrastructure and the recent immigration influx are aggravating factors pushing Jordan to actively implement national plans focused on facing the pressing water challenges.

Over the years, The French government has been actively supporting the kingdom in the water sector through various financing schemes amounting to more than 135 million Euros over the last years. Moreover, French companies, known for their worldwide expertise in the water sector, are also active in the kingdom, the recent signature of a memorandum of understanding covering five water and sanitation projects in Amman and Irbid at a cost of around 83 million euros is by far the latest acknowledgment.

The Forum :

In this active context of bilateral relations in this vital sector , The Franco Jordanian Business Club (CAFRAJ) in partnership with the French Embassy in Jordan, The Arab Countries Water Utilities Association (ACWUA) and Jordan Investment Commission (JIC) are organizing the First Franco Jordanian Forum on Water Sustainability on 18-19-20 November 2014 in Amman.

The Forum is announced on a very high level under the patronage of HRH Prince Hassan and in the presence of the Jordanian minister of Water and Irrigation as well as regional ministers of water namely from Irak and Palestine.

On the French side , The Forum is organized in cooperation with the French Water Partnership and the International Water Office in France to provide a platform for Jordanian, regional and French businesses and institutions to examine and establish collaborative partnerships in the various water sector issues.

Forum Topics :

The forum tackles the various plans, policies & legislations in Jordan’s national water strategy , the protection and management of water resources , wastewater management, re-use of water , network efficiency as well as the RED SEA DEAD SEA CANAL Project highlighting future water security. Furthermore, a special panel will be dedicated to discuss financing opportunities in the water sector with the presence of the major international donors in Jordan and the region.

The two day forum is expected to gather renowned experts in the water sector from Jordanian, regional and French institutions actively involved in the water management and sustainability field in addition to companies from both countries looking to foster their presence on the Jordanian market.

The forum is also the opportunity for companies to further discuss collaborative partnerships within the afternoon slot of the second day dedicated to scheduled business to business meetings.

Companies also have the option of conducting a Field visit to As Samra wastewater treatment plant operated by Degremont to witness the success story of a French company in operation in the kingdom.
