International Conference on Water Cooperation for Sustainable Development (WCSD)

The UN resolution to designate 2013 as the International Year of Water Cooperation (IYWC) recognizes that “water is critical for sustainable development.” The IYWC aims to direct international attention towards the opportunities for water cooperation among communities and countries in order to solve the challenges of water management. Accordingly, the National Water Research Center (NWRC), Egypt, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Office in Cairo organize the International Conference on Water Cooperation for Sustainable Development in November 2013.
