Work with communities near Morocco's Oued Outat River Basin to identify good and bad water management practices; build capacity on water management issues, including legislative framework, the importance of the river ecosystem and the services it provides to the people from the valley and beyond; and organize exchange visits to other sites in Morocco and Albania to benefit from other regions' experiences. Work with communities to prepare recommendations for improved water resources and river ecosystem management, and present the recommendations to local government and other public institutions in charge of water management. Complete a demonstration activity of better water management practices, including rehabilitation of 50 hectares of natural habitat.
