Aiming at coordinating effectively with other relevant actors, initiatives and projects with a view of promoting synergies and bringing added value to on-going efforts towards sustainable water integrated management in the South Mediterranean Region, a set of initiatives were undertaken by SWIM-SM.

These included the preparation of two databases - one for centres and organizations that provide training and capacity building activities relevant to the themes tackled by the project and another for on-going projects and initiatives - and the participation in events of regional importance, such as the Rio + 20 Summit (20-22 June 2012, Rio de Janeiro – Brazil) and the Stockholm World Water Week (August 26-31, Stockholm – Sweden). In both events SWIM-SM was represented by GWP-Med, that serves as the project’s technical director.
