INECE Regional Conference for Morocco and Northern Africa

Draft Summary: In conjunction with the Moroccan Ministry of Territory Planning, Water, and Environment, INECE hosted a Regional Conference for local and regional professionals on issues of particular relevance to Morocco, North Africa, and the Mediterranean region.

Over 65 participants enthusiastically engaged in strategic discussions on advancing the implementation of environmental compliance and enforcement in the region. The Conference provided a unique opportunity for government-government and government-NGO collaboration.

Participants concluded that a regional enforcement network, affiliated with and supported by INECE, was an essential tool for promoting best practices and building capacity in the region. Participants agreed that the new network should capitalize on lessons learned from existing networks, including their goals and objectives.

The workshop was conducted in French with limited English translation.
