WEF-CAP: white papers - Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia
The WEF-CAP project tries to support sustainable and resilient agri-food sector production, thus improving the energy and water efficiency: renewables, wastewater treatment, water harvesting and reuse, etc.
Successful technologies in Water -Energy - Food Nexus (WEFN) integrated approach have been analysed and catalogued. In this section there are 3 white papers which demonstrates the importance of adopting this integrated approach and in particular analyze the cases of some partner countries of the project: Jordan, Egypt and Tunisia.
WEF-CAP: policy briefs
WEF-CAP project seeks to consolidate a water, energy, and food regional meta cluster that fosters cooperation and tech-transfer while mainstreaming policy impact for innovation-driven growth.
In this section there are 3 policy briefs related to Water, Energy and Food Nexus (WEFN):
- The Way Forward for the Mediterranean Region in the Face of Insecurities
- Opportunities for an Integrated Water-Energy-Food Nexus approach in the MENA region: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon & Tunisia
- The Technology Transfer and Capitalization of Water Energy Food NEXUS: Evaluation of WEF Nexus best practices for replication in the Mediterranean region.
E-commerce platform
FISH MED NET aims to reach as many fishing communities as possible by supporting and promoting the cooperation among all fishers involved in the Mediterranean. The e-commerce platform collects and shows all the small enterprises and cooperatives active in the tourism, food, aquaculture and servicestocommunity cluster in the Mediterranean area. It includes the profile of the counselling desk, to provide information on how to become part of this Mediterranean community to conduct the business activity in complete harmony with their local community all in respect of the United Nations Sustainalbe Development Goals (UN SDGs). The counseling desk will be able to assist fishers by providing the necessary documentation to register your own SME, to explain how the Business Alliances can help boost your business and begin this positive environment of cooperation. The e-commerce platform collects synergies with other ENI CBC MED projects e-platform active in blue and green economy.

The General focus of the pilot was to define the main characteristics of the pilot area/building and explanation of the choice of the pilot location, the general objective of the intervention on a short, medium, and long term, description of the intervention, key relevant stakeholders engaged in the process (beforehand, along the process and end user), main identified challenges in the implementation and the impact and sustainability: socio- economic and environmental aspects.
MAIA TAQA Detailed design of the pilot project - Amman
The MAIA-TAQA project focuses on developing and defining a range of innovative services in the field of resource efficiency (RE), by setting up demonstrators in 3 Mediterranean pilot areas, in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. This report illustrates a pilot project implemented in Jordan with the aim of improving and upgrading the provision of power at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JOCC) main building in Amman by installing a Building Integrated Photovoltaic System (BIPV).
MAIA TAQA Detailed design of the pilot project - Lebanon
MAIA-TAQA has implemented demonstrator pilot projects in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan, which have significantly advanced the cause of sustainability and resource efficiency within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mediterranean countries. This report provides the main features of the detail design of the Lebanese pilot project in the framework of Work Package 3 (WP3) - "Development of sustainable services in the Mediterranean area".
The pilot project in Lebanon consisted of a construction of a Waste Water Treatment Plant for the Industrial Research Institute (IRI) building, and the reuse of the treated water for irrigation purposes, with the objective to fulfill the following priorities:
- Efficient system with the best quality for price ratio
- Innovative technology for treatment, monitoring of treated water &
valorisation of sludge
- Large potential of application in local context

Introduction to Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a financing mechanism used to support energy efficiency measures and renewable energy installations without worrying about financial barriers. In an EPC contract, the energy service company (ESCO) is committed to provide guaranteed energy improvements to the customer’s territory while the finances are covered from the achieved energy savings.
