Event Overview
The series of triennial Arab Water Forum (AWF) is considered one of the most important water-related events in the Arab region. The 5th edition of AWF will be convened by the Arab Water Council during the period 21 – 23 September 2021 in Grand Hyatt Dubai under the patronage of the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure and supported by the League of Arab States (LAS) and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of Egypt (MWRI), in collaboration with national, regional and international partners. Providing a unique platform for communication, the AWF is considered the stage where Arab water community leaders and key decision-makers thoroughly discuss water challenges that the Arab region is facing, being one of the most water-scarce regions in the world.
The Forum also represents an important milestone in the run-up to the World Water Forum (WWF) and a meeting point for stakeholders who wish to be involved in the Arab regional process to reflect the voice of the Arab region in the WWF, promoting priority areas for development in key water-related sectors and mobilizing key actions towards achieving water security for the Arab region.
The 2021 edition will feature 3 days of panel sessions, scientific sessions, and an Arab Water Expo, along with plenty of opportunities for networking.
The 5th Arab Water Forum is a product of more than a year-and-a-half of collaborative effort and preparations
with stakeholders from all the Arab region including policy-makers, multilateral specialized institutions, academia, civil society and the private sector, among others.
Under the overarching Slogan “Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development”, the 5th AWF is intended to address three main priorities: Arab Water Security; Transboundary Water Cooperation and Water for Sustainable Development including about 14 different topics as well as cross-cutting Means and Tools. Each priority and topic was carefully developed, in collaboration with regional partners, government representatives, NGOs, professional networks and academic groups within a common framework of goals and concrete targets. The Forum is expected to achieve collective action and positive response that will influence the desired change by bridging the science-policy interface. The Forum will also include a parallel track with several Scientific Sessions.
Over the years, the number of people participating in the Forum has increased from both the international community and Arab countries. The Forum connects over 800+ water sector professionals, innovators and decision-makers from across 22 Arab Countries and partners as well as international collaborators, to discuss imminent water challenges and effective solutions to be tackled in the Arab region. By participating in the 5th Arab Water Forum, you will actively contribute to responding to the real-time challenges of water resources management, water supply and sanitation.
In compliance with the long-term perception and aspirations of the UAE wise leadership towards achieving sustainable development, the mission of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastracture is to secure sustainability of the inter-related fields of Energy, Water, Mining and Industry sectors for the welfare and prosperity of the community, with special focus on surmounting the challenges facing the Arab region. This can be realized through setting appropriate legislation and policies, and building strategic partnerships in close cooperation and coordination with concerned entities.
With this vision as a targeted goal, the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure will be honored to host the 5th Arab Water Forum under its auspices.
The key message in this stage is about seeking a cooperative and cohesive society that includes all of the integrated components in a nexus approach. More than ever, the dialogue between different actors is required for investigating innovative solutions and for the mobilization of public and private actions in order to promote better water security and sustainability. With the overarching theme “Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development,” the 5th Arab Water Forum indeed proposes to foster this dialogue, and to promote cooperation and exchange of knowledge and insights.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome all participants to the Forum in Dubai. We render ourselves available to help obtain the best possible results as an outcome of the event. Join us to exchange views and help upgrade the quality of life of people in the Arab region. It is truly an opportunity not to be missed.

Welcome Messages
The Arab region today is facing unprecedented multi-dimensional water challenges that are affecting its stability and threatening its sustainability. Despite decades of regulation and large investments in water-related sectors, evidence still shows that the growing climate variability with its impacts on water availability, combined with the existing water scarcity in the region, has translated into poor livelihoods and
food insecurity and has heavily impacted water-dependent jobs leading to substantial employment cuts across the regional economy.
Moreover, the continuous rise in water use due to socio-economic development, combined with population growth and changes in consumption patterns, continue to increase the stress level on the limited water resources especially in conflict settings where water infrastructure is limited, damaged and targeted for destruction. On the other hand, upstream pressures on transboundary waters continue to jeopardize peaceful sustainability of livelihoods in the region, where almost 65% of its renewable surface water resources is originating from outside the Region.
The complexity of the water-related challenges can only be understood through proper consideration of all. Concerted efforts are highly needed to improve livelihoods of communities and individuals and reinforce resilience to environmental stress including improvement of water supply, access and governance. This can be achieved through tailored policy formulation that addresses the needs of all groups and recognizes their basic rights in water supply and sanitation aiming at building peaceful and prosperous societies, sustaining healthy livelihoods and maintaining the dignity of all human beings.
Within this context, the Arab Water Council will be organizing its 5th Arab Water Forum in Dubai, UAE, in September 2021. We look forward to your participation in this vital event to share knowledge and experience towards achieving “Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development”, which will also be an important milestone for reflecting on the Arab Region’s views in preparation for the 9th World Water Forum in March 2022.

The Arab Water Council
AWC mission is to promote deeper understanding and better management of the water resources in the Arab states in a multi-disciplinary, non-political, professional and scientific approach, to disseminate knowledge and enhance sharing of experiences and to achieve integrated water resources management for sustainable development and good water governance for the benefit of the Arab people.
AWC strategy is based on creating effective partnerships that aim at harnessing cross-sectoral, multi-stakeholder cooperation and collective approaches across international, regional and national actors towards strengthening integrated solutions and tangible implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals for achieving water security in the Arab Region.
The Arab Water Council (AWC), the organizer of the chain of Arab Water Fora, was launched on the 14th of April 2004 as a regional non-profit organization with activities extended on both regional and international scales. The Headquarters of the Arab Water Council is in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The Council is working towards an Arab collective role that raises the level of awareness on existing water resources management challenges, intensifies the current effort to confront them, and contributes to the development of the new water culture.
Under the patronage of The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure Supported by The League of Arab States (LAS), The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of Egypt (MWRI) and water authorities from 22 Arab countries.
