Groundwater Management, Use and Protection Programme (GWP)
Despite its vital importance for people, economy and environment, groundwater (GW) in North Macedonia is increasingly under pressure from pollution and unsustainable use in a changing climate. With Swiss expertise and support, the GWP will establish the basis for a long-term transformation of the GW management by building stakeholders’ capacities, securing the necessary collaboration mechanism, improving legislative and planning framework.

| Contexte | Although GW in North Macedonia is of high strategic importance (source of 77% of the drinking water supply), it has not been recognised as such and is therefore not adequately used, managed and protected. The responsible institutions do not have sufficient and adequate capacities, there is a lack of background information, knowledge and tools for GW resource protection, planning and monitoring and legal framework is incomplete. Additionally, low awareness of the status of GW is reflected in low public pressure and weak mobilisation of the public and civil society on GW management issues. |
| Objectifs | Strengthened relevant authorities and a conscious civil society implement the provisions of an integrated framework coherent with the requirements of the EU environmental acquis for the sustainable management of GW resources in a changing climate. |
