Dutch water sector & Oman Water Week
The first Oman Water Week took place in Muscat, Oman, on 22-24 January. The conference focussed on how Oman can transform its water sector to become more resilient, sustainable, flexible, and efficient. The Netherlands Embassy in Muscat and NWP jointly organised the Dutch water sector representation, facilitating speaking engagements. No less than three cooperation agreements were signed between various Dutch organisations and stakeholders in the water sector in Oman. These cooperation agreements are the result of the long-term commitment from both the Omani and Dutch water sectors to work together and help shape the future of water.
