Euro-Mediterranean Information System on know-how in the Water sector - Objectives<p>The Mediterranean Component of the EU Water Initiative (MED EUWI)
aims:</p>
<ul>
<li> to assist design of better, demand driven and result oriented
programmes,</li>
<li> to facilitate better coordination of water programmes and
projects, aiming at a more effective use of existing funds, and the
mobilization of new financial resources, where this is required, based on
an analysis of gaps, and,</li>
<li>to enhance cooperation for the proper implementation of these
programmes and projects, based on peer review and strategic
assessment.</li>
</ul>
<p>The 2004-2006 Activity Plan of the Mediterranean Component of the EU
Water Initiative (MED-EUWI) formulates a set of inter-related actions,

timeframes, and designed to generate the momentum for fulfilling the stated
objectives.</p>
<p>It contains eight (1-8) <b>Programmatic Objectives</b> that are
divided to three <b>Thematic</b> objectives (1-3) and five <b>Horizontal</b>
