On the 6th of September 2022, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Egypt’s Ministry of Higher Education launched the First International Water Symposium to discuss the latest advancements in the water sector and find solutions to the climate crisis in Egypt and around the world.
The symposium is hosted by Alexandria University through the Center of Excellence for Water, a $30 million USAID-funded project that connects academic researchers from Egypt and the United States with partners from the public and private sectors to influence public policy, promote efficient water use, and create workable solutions for water management.
The Center of Excellence for Water brings together USAID and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, along with six Egyptian and four American universities, including the American University in Cairo, Alexandria University, Ain Shams University, Aswan University, Beni Suef University, and Zagazig University in Egypt and Utah State, Washington State, Temple University, and the University of California-Santa Cruz in the United States.
Speaking at the opening session, USAID Egypt Mission Director Leslie Reed said that around the world, climate change and growing populations are putting pressure on water resources and by bringing together the U.S. and Egyptian experts in the fields of water security and climate change, we are advancing toward our goal of a water-secure world.
