WATER CONVENTION IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE MET IN GENEVA
The Implementation Committee under the Water Convention convened on 7-8 April 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland, reaffirming its commitment to facilitate and support the implementation of the United Nations Water Convention.
The new composition of the Committee reflects the global character of the Convention: its members come from Africa, Europe, Central Asia, Middle East and Latin America.
The Committee, composed of nine independent experts serving in their personal capacity, works in a non-confrontational, transparent, and cooperative manner - true to the collaborative spirit of the Convention, to prevent water-related conflicts.
The Committee elected Dinara Ziganshina, SIC ICWC Director, as Chair and Makane Moïse Mbengue as Vice Chair for the period 2025-2027.
During the recent meeting, the Committee held consultations with Montenegro and Albania on the progress they made in implementing the Committee's legal and technical advice regarding the transboundary Cijevna/Cem River.
Additionally, the secretariat shared future steps in the implementation of the "Cross-sectoral cooperation in transboundary basins in the Western Balkans" project, funded by Italy, which includes efforts to strengthen groundwater monitoring in the Cijevna/Cem River basin.
