The Association of
Agricultural Research Institutions in the Near East and
North Africa (AARINENA) was established in 1985 to
strengthen cooperation among national, regional and
international research institutions and centres through the
dissemination and exchange of information, experiences and
research results.
Its mission is to contribute
to the enhancement of agricultural and rural development in
the WANA Region

The Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat
hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO
acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to
negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source
of knowledge and information. We help developing countries
and countries in transition modernize and improve
agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure
good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have
focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to
70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

The Global
Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) is a stakeholder-led
initiative that serves as a neutral forum for discussion and
action on critical issues related to agricultural research
for development (ARD). GFAR was formally established in 1996
by an agreement among stakeholders of agricultural research,
as an initiative to promote cost-effective partnerships and
strategic alliances in agricultural research and innovation.

Four main strategic objectives form the
base for all of the activities carried out by Plan Bleu:
1. To continuously identify, collect and
process environmental, economic and social information that
could be useful for the decision-makers and other players.
2. To assess the interaction between the
environment and economic and social development in order to
measure the progress made towards sustainable development.
3. To carry out analyses and prospective
studies to help to construct future prospects and to
strengthen decision-making.
4. To distribute and communicate the
products and results in a way adapted to those for whom it
is intended.

Institut de la Méditerranée
L'objectif général de l'Institut de la
Méditerranée est d'offrir à ses membres fondateurs un
instrument d'analyse, d'expertise et de montage de
projets sur la grande région euro-méditerranéenne. Par
ses travaux et ses initiatives, l'Institut s'est
positionné comme l'un des acteurs incontournables du
processus de coopération euro-méditerranéen. Les
différentes activités de l'Institut s'organisent autour
de deux grandes fonctions complémentaires : la fonction
influence et la fonction d'identification et de suivi
des projets pour les membres fondateurs.
Les deux activités d'influence et de
projet sont fortement complémentaires dans la mesure où
les projets incarnent de façon visible l'influence et
s'inscrivent dans la mission générale pour l'Institut de
faire de ses membres des acteurs incontournables de la
construction de la grande région euro-méditerranéenne.
L'Europe et la Méditerranée:

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership,
formerly known as the Barcelona Process, was re-launched in
2008 as the Union for the Mediterranean at the Paris Summit
for the Mediterranean in July, with the new network of
relations endorsed at the Marseille Meeting of the
Euro-Mediterranean Ministers of Foreign Affairs in
November. The Partnership now includes all 27 member states
of the European Union, along with 16 partners across the
Southern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
This re-launching aimed to infuse a new
vitality into the Partnership and to raise the political
level of the strategic relationship between the EU and its
southern neighbours. While maintaining the acquis of its
predecessor, the Barcelona Process, the Union for the
Mediterranean offers more balanced governance, increased
visibility to its citizens and a commitment to tangible,
regional and trans-national projects.
Some of the most important innovations of
the Union for the Mediterranean include the a rotating co-presidency
with one EU president and one president representing the
Mediterranean partners, and a Secretariat based in Barcelona
that is responsible for identifying and promoting projects
of regional, sub-regional and transnational value across
different sectors.
The Union for the Mediterranean has also
identified six priority projects which are at the heart of
the of Partnership’s efforts, including projects for:
- the de-pollution of the Mediterranean
Sea;
- the establishment of maritime and land
highways;
- civil protection initiatives to combat
natural and man-made disasters;
- a Mediterranean solar energy plan;
- the inauguration of the
Euro-Mediterranean University in Slovenia;
- and the Mediterranean Business
Development Initiative focusing on micro, small and
medium-sized enterprises.

Sustainable water use securing food production in dry areas
of the Mediterranean region (EU project)
The strategic objective of the SWUP-MED
project is:
Improve food
production by introducing climate-proof varieties in crop
rotations of wheat, grain legumes and new crops (potentially
high value food cash crops), in a rainfed system with
supplemental deficit irrigation using marginal-quality water
and harvested rainwater. This will accelerate adoption of
improved agricultural practices supporting small farmers’
livelihood and income levels.
