Algeria-Libya Plan Water Cooperation

Algeria and Libya reaffirm their commitment to strengthening cooperation in the water sector, particularly in areas such as seawater desalination, drinking water production, and wastewater treatment, in order to confront water security challenges. During a working visit by Libyan Minister of Water Resources, Hosni Awidan, to Algeria, prospects for collaboration were discussed, and a joint roadmap and memorandum of understanding were prepared to enhance sustainable partnership. The initiatives include establishing a joint committee to oversee projects and exchanging technical expertise, especially in groundwater management and addressing water scarcity in the region. The figures confirm that Algeria has succeeded in increasing access to safe drinking water to 98% and producing 68.3 million cubic meters per day through desalination, thereby strengthening its capacity to face water challenges and achieve sustainable development.
