ABSTRACT
EcoPeace/Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) was founded in 1994 to foster regional peace through transboundary environmental projects. As one of only a few transboundary organizations working on environmental peacemaking today, its approach and experience in water resource management in conflict and post-conflict situations can serve as a model for both top-down and bottom-up efforts. One of FoEME’s central areas of activity, the rehabilitation of the Lower Jordan River, illustrates key strategies by which water projects can facilitate transboundary cooperation.
