The Blue Peace Middle East 2.0 – Capacity Development project is a collaborative initiative between the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Water Diplomacy Center (WDC) at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST). The project aims to strengthen regional cooperation on transboundary water management by building the capacity of professionals, institutions, and stakeholders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Through training programs, workshops, research, and knowledge-sharing activities, the project enhances the skills of policymakers, water professionals, and diplomats in water diplomacy, negotiation, and conflict resolution. It also fosters collaboration among countries facing shared water challenges, promoting sustainable and equitable water resource management.

The initiative is part of the broader Blue Peace Middle East program, which seeks to transform water from a potential source of conflict into an instrument of peace and regional stability. By equipping stakeholders with technical expertise, policy insights, and dialogue facilitation skills, the project contributes to long-term water security and sustainable development in the region.
