dc.descriptionThis thematic brief explores how the Al Murunah project is implementing scalable, resilient nature-based water solutions (RNBWS) pilot projects to strengthen climate resilience and water security across fragile and climate-vulnerable settings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Focusing on pilot sites in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine, Al Murunah pilots combine technical innovation, inclusive governance and community-led approaches to address water scarcity, land degradation, climate change and institutional fragility. Al Murunah pilots are designed as integrated and scalable models embedded within local institutions, households and policy systems. Through participatory planning, co-design and partnerships with communities, cooperatives, water user associations and government stakeholders, the project strengthens local ownership while supporting long-term adaptation and resilience. This brief presents Al Murunah as a proven and investable process for scaling locally led climate resilience solutions across the MENA region.
