The JOINTISZA project was presented as part of the “Study Visit on Transboundary Cooperation” organised by the REC within the framework of the “Sustainable Use of Transboundary Water Resources and Water Security Management” (WATER SUM) project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

The study visit, held at the end of April, brought together 13 representatives from national water authorities of Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia who deal with water management cooperation issues in a transboundary context at different levels. Through a series of meetings in Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia, the event provided opportunities to improve dialogue on shared water resources and to promote understanding on how cooperative and coordinated action can help to manage and mitigate water issues that have potential transboundary impacts.

The JOINTISZA project was presented on the first day of the study visit at the premises of the Hungarian General Directorate of Water Management (OVF). The presentation covered background information concerning cooperation in the Tisza River Basin, challenges to be addressed, the aims of the JOINTISZA project, planned activities and foreseen results.
