The National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering awarded the National Academy of Sciences $200,000 on October 1, 2026, to organize and facilitate a two-day workshop on water resources management in arid agriculture. The workshop convenes subject matter experts from Abraham Accords nations (Israel, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan), the United States, and other countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. The event takes place in Rabat, Morocco and brings together representatives from national government agencies, academia, and the private sector, including water utilities, startups, and venture capitalists. The workshop explores strategies to leverage science and technology innovations to address water scarcity affecting agricultural production in arid and semi-arid environments, with focus on artificial irrigation and sustainable water resource use. The effort aims to develop solutions enhancing food security and economic growth while advancing diplomatic, economic, and security cooperation among participating nations. The National Academy of Sciences performs this work at its headquarters in Washington, DC, with a period of performance extending through September 30, 2027. This award is a project grant under CFDA 47.079, the Office of International Science and Engineering program, which supports international partnerships to advance scientific discovery and strengthen U.S. scientific leadership globally.
