The Good Water Neighbor (GWN) project is the flagship project of EcoPeace/Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) since 2001. FoEME's main objective is to promote environmental peace building through influencing policy makers and advancing changes in cross-border environmental policies related to shared water resources in Palestine, Jordan and Israel. To achieve these goals FoEME applies a two-folded strategy – bottom-up and top-down.
The Good Water Neighbors (GWN) project is an integral part of the bottom-up strategy. The 28 cross-border communities are a place where various initiatives and strategies are being conceived and their relevancy and impact are being checked in local settings as a learning process, suggesting applicable models for the top-down strategy, while at the same time creating actual positive change in the participating communities.
