Créée en 2006, l’Ambassade de l’Eau est une association loi de 1901 issue du constat de l’inégalité de l’accès à l’eau sur Terre. L’association a pour vocation de travailler sur les problématiques de l’eau des pays émergents. Elle est articulée autour de plusieurs pôles : sensibilisation, éducation, information, réalisation. Résolument grand public, elle organise entre autres actions, des Classes d’Eau pour les scolaires de tous niveaux avec le soutien de l’Agence de l’eau Seine Normandie, ainsi que des projets de coopération décentralisée en s’appuyant sur le 1% de la loi Oudin/Santini.Notre action s'articule autour de deux pôles: la jeunesse et une bonne gouvernance de l'eau. La première s'exprime par l'intermédiaire de l'Union Mediterranéenne des jeunes ambassadeurs de l'eau (UMJAE), la seconde est facilitée par un outil d'aide à la décision: STRATEAU. Les différents onglets de ce site vous permettront de découvrir notre action présente, passée et à venir.

Dr. El Kharraz led RCREEE, and the implementation of its strategy aiming to enable and increase the adoption of renewable energies and energy efficiency practices across the MENA region. He led more than 40 projects (renewable energy, biodiversity, desalination, energy efficiency, green finance, green hydrogen, water-energy-food nexus, green economy, climate diplomacy, desalination for agriculture, methane reduction, environmental and socio-economic assessment studies, etc.) implemented for governments, UN agencies, European Commission, GIZ, IKI, ECF/PIE, IsDB, private sector, etc.In 3 years, he succeeded in tripling RCREEE incomes and multiplying and diversifying projects and funding sources. For the first time, he obtained funding from philanthropic funds, and consolidated the portfolio with private sectors and investors in the wind energy sector, and strengthened the relationship with the European Commission (DG NEAR), UfM Secretariat, the League of Arab States and the key regional stakeholders such as IRENA, IEA, UN ESCWA, MEDENER, OMEC, MED-TSO, MEDREG, Guidehouse, FAO, IWMI, AWC, etc. He contributed significantly to the financial sustainability of the center and rebuilt its brand as one of the most active regional centers in the MENA region and a key player in the energy transition policies and debate. RCREEE presence at COP27 and COP28 in particular was a great success and he created a proper international spot (Cairo Sustainable Energy Week), which became a hotspot for all energy transition stakeholders (governments, industry, private sector, international financial institutions, academia, CSOs, etc.).
