In MENA, Policies for Water Are More Important than Ever

Water is life. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has the world's lowest regional average annual water availability per person. Policies must be enacted to conserve water as populations grow and climate impacts become stronger.

The World Bank Group is committed to working with the region’s governments, the Arab Fund for Social and Economic Development, and other key partners to achieve a future for MENA countries where water is preserved for the prosperity of generations to come.
