The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is facing severe water scarcity and accelerating desertification. No state in the region can master these challenges by itself. In order to avoid conflicts over water, states should cooperate on new methods of water management. This paper showcases how regional cooperation in the date palm agriculture sector can decrease water usage and thereby contribute to avoiding conflicts over scarce water resources. This policy paper provides recommendations for policy makers from different sectors (government, agro-business-food trades, and farmers’ associations) in the MENA region towards the creation of a regional collaboration framework in the form of a “Water Club” to improve water usage with green desalination technology and wastewater treatment. The aim of this policy brief is to provide impetus for enhanced regional cooperation on issues of water scarcity by creating a pact of cooperation on water use in palm agriculture in the MENA region.
