Khashman in his opening speech reviewed the ACWUA strategies and programs; the carried and the planned activities and the future objective and the impact on the regional water situation, asking the participants to take the opportunity to benefit from the training course and work to implement the learnings in their national institutions and daily work. Dr. Thomas Petermann in his presentation, made an introduction to the GIZ MENA water program(s) and activities, followed by an over view on the role of cross-sector cooperation and coordination for good water governance, and the background of this training course and the preparation of the trainers in Germany, closing his presentation by inviting the participants to actively participate and discuss all issues to make the benefit and to apply the learning in their national organizations. The training course covered several issues with relevance to conflict management (conflict analysis, conflict mapping, stakeholder's analysis, Wenn Diagram, Negotiation strategy and other important topics. The main methodology was as usual, the PALA approach, supporting the mutual learning and exchange of experiences with high consideration to the participant's experience. The trainers presented their inputs interactively encouraging and involving the participants in the discussion by guided questions. Four trainers carried the training course, the trainers attended several trainings and capacity building workshops of which the Negotiation in Water Sector was the last in September 2011 in Feldafing Germany. The participants demonstrated high level of involvement, participation and cooperation through the working days, no absenteeism observed; working sessions started almost on the agreed time. The course covered one field trip to two different sites of the ZARQA River Basin. The general evaluation of the course reflects the satisfaction on the content, the training methodology, learning achieved and the environment.

The training aimed • • •
to broaden experience in good practices, To increase analytical knowledge to understand conflicts of power and interests over scarce water resources. To strengthen negotiation and management skills.
Methodology As it is the case in GIZ events PALA (Participatory and Adults Learning Approach), was the base for all workshop sessions. PALA is using /applying tools and methods like small working groups discussion, brain storming, presentations and plenary discussion and feedback in plenary and in sub-working groups, allowing the participants to exchange idea and experiences and mutual learning Only when necessary, and with high consideration to involve the participants experience and knowledge, lecture approach was always made interactively involving the participants to comment and bring their examples, questions, by several guided questions, such approach proved to create an enjoyable learning environment and interaction among the participants. All participants responded positively and actively with high interest to all working sessions and exercises.

Techniques and working tools applied The workshop activities were carried using several working methods and techniques of which the most are: Group work Is the most common approach in PALA, allows the opportunity for mutual learning, interaction and exchange of experiences, deeper discussion until achieving an agreement, or agree on areas of conflict or disagreement>.It also supports mutual cooperation, division of labor, employ personal talents and interests. The group work started since the first working day, in the first working session, and continued through each working day until the last working session. Lectures This is the most common approach for bringing knowledge and information to audience. In many cases, people don’t appreciate lecture style as it is mostly one way speech. In fact lecture is a neutral, can be attractive and can be boring, it depends on the presenter. Generally there are four types of Lecture: 1- one way approach without discussion , 2- Lecture with discussion allowed/ initiated by the lecturer, 3- Lecture followed by Discussion but limited for a short while and 4- Multi activities lecture where participants are given some tasks and presentation while the lecture, this is mainly for longer lectures. In this workshop there were several lectures, starting the first day mostly are of the type 2 and 4 as described above. Through the workshop days, lectures were of the type four. Participants were asked to go into their working groups to apply the learning steps and carry presentations. Case Studies A very useful technique that simulates real situation, the groups prepared and carried presentation on their country case studies, then groups were formed to continue working on the case studies by applying the techniques as presented gradually. Presentations All trainers and groups carried sequence of presentations through all working days, special sessions were also allocated for presentations, after which plenary discussion always took place. Presentations and all working steps also followed the visualization principles, using colored cards, pin-board and all workshop and group products were fixed on the wall according to production sequence through all working days.

Session three: Conflict analysis: The fourth training session was kicked off with a presentation of 30 minutes on Conflict analysis given by Khalid Tahri. The main issues raised during this presentation are quoted below: • • • •
Conflict analysis issues Conflict progression Handling styles of conflict Tools to analyze conflicts
Before the presentation, an open discussion of 15 min was launched around two main questions: • •
What are the useful questions to ask when analyzing conflict? Why is it important to do conflict analysis?
Most of the participants agree that: • •
The useful questions are “what, why, where, when, how and who…” concerning the conflict. The conflict analysis is important for understanding the conflict to better resolving it.
The most important issue that was raised during the presentation and discussed very extensively by the participants was “the tools to analyze conflicts” especially “the Circle of conflict”. After a brief break, Khalid carried on the fifth training session on the topic of “stakeholder analysis”. The Power Point presentation was dedicated to the following topics: • • • • • •
Stakeholders Stakes Stakeholder Typology Stakeholders cooperation and threat Engagement towards stakeholders Stakeholder’s response to the conflict Stakeholder Matrix.
Khalid then assigned the five groups to make a deep analysis of the conflict raised by their concerned case studies based on the conflict mapping tool and the stakeholder analysis matrix. The participants then broke into their working groups and developed each, for about one hour and a half, their work using the pin boards. The presentations took place on the fourth training day morning. Each group spend about 20 min to highlight, based on a map, the main obstacles and causes of the conflict as well as the concerned parties, their power, their interests and their response towards the conflict.

Field trip. Day Three Tuesday 18/10/2011 This day was allocated for the field trip. Mr. Tareq Abu Al Hawa the expert at the RSCN, briefed the participants on the two sits to be visited in Zarqa River Basin: Rusaifa and AlKhayouf. Mr. Abu al Hawa prepared and presented a power point presentation on Zarqa River Basin, presenting the history and activities , ecology, past and present situation, demography and community, awareness at various sectors and levels, level of pollution, the current running rehabilitation activities and the level of efforts needed, and the community contribution. The participants accordingly were split into two groups, Two busses carried the participants. Rusaifa is a small city where the Zarqa River was crossing; the area was privileged with running water resource, and green surroundings and known as farming area. Currently there is no water running, it is simply dry. Factories practiced some behaviors that accelerated the decline towards the negative situation. Currently a Yeast Factory beside others disposes its waste in the course of the river claiming that it is fertile for the land, this was also claimed by one of the 36 farmer families, while another local farmer denied this claim. The conflict is between small farmers on the Yeast factory waste on one side, and between factories and inhabitants, and between factories and authorities. Al Khayouf Area, is a mountainous area, on the shoulder of the valley were a running water course from the Al Samra Waste Water Treatment. Some farmers are rehabilitating land and cultivate crops, others just left their trees and field as water lifting from the valley costs much more than the revenue since no power supply available in the area. Another conflicting issue is the mining site, where contractors extract sand and gravel for construction, that is resulting in the deformation of the area, however one positive aspect of the mining process, the land slide that took place sometime earlier caused to close the large part of the water course forming a lake behind, which transferred the area to greenish and good place for migratory birds.

A local community association, worked to rehabilitate 7000 SQM of land, as pilot project to plant Jojoba Trees (also called Green Gold), the tree lives in dry area and need very little water in the first year, then can continue living without water, in addition to the high value of the extracted oil. The participants had their traditional lunch in the premises of the local association, and then drove back to Amman. In the hotel, the groups worked to prepare a presentation on the field trip to be carried in the day 4. The field trip demonstrated multi factorial causes, problem /conflict contributors and influenced people, bodies in addition to the ecological, social and economic environment, in short: it is chain of interrelated issues.
Jojoba Tree, takes three years to start production, then can continue life with minimal water

Day Four Wednesday 19/10/2011 Session 1 The activities started at 08:45 with reflection on the field trip. Dr. Ghazi abu Rumman on behalf of the AlKhayouf Group carried the presentation starting with an overview on the region, current situation and the pilot activity planting the Jojoba tree and the expected benefits, passing to the main obstacles (No Electrical power) facing the local community in developing the area . Al Rusaifa Case, 36 families living along the dry water course, are small farmers, poor and suffering of water scarcity and waste of industrial factories, beside neglect of official agencies, the Yeast factory representative and some farmers expressed the benefit of the factory waste as fertilizers, other farmers denied and claimed against. Farmers required environmental standards to be applied on the factories, the inhabitants called for the ministry of Environment and Agriculture to work jointly to maintain balance of stakeholders needs in the area, the case was presented by Mr. Mustafa Elrawady – Egypt and Mr. Eyad Adel. In continuation of Day 2, the groups starting the presentation of the stakeholder's analysis and Venn Diagram. Starting Jordan case, followed by the Palestinian, Iraq case, Nile Basin case ending with the Morocco case about the Al Sous Valley.

Day 4, Session 2: Conflict Management and Resolution Presented by Mohammed T. Obidallah Covering topics: a) General principles of conflict resolution, b) Framework for resolving conflict, and: c) Alternative conflict resolution mechanism. The session was carried in interactive lecture with lots of discussion that tend to divert sometimes to political nature. The trainer introduced as well Water theories in International Water Law since five case studies presented by participants were transboundary ones. The session started with exploring tools used to induce parties to open up, identify the real issue behind their positions and find out “win-win� solutions identifying the requirements for successful conflict resolution
After addressing the conflict resolution tools, an alternative conflict resolution Mechanism was introduced

In Session 3: The exercise SHARK Island was presented, groups of three were formed to reach an agreement for the problem case, the results were combined on the flipchart and compared with necessary discussion and clarifications, the case was presented by the trainer Mostafa Biad. In this session and through session IV, the trainer Jamal Al Salah presented the "Negotiation strategies / skills". Although this is an important topic that all participants waited; and as known it is a wide topic that makes it difficult to present in short time, and to satisfy the needs of the participants. However the trainer used very little power point and concentrated on the visualized cards and interaction with the participants during the presentation. The presentation covered the Chinese philosophy / strategy focusing on the strength and weaknesses of the other part in terms of (political, technical, personal, competencies ‌ etc...) to identify the gap s in order to plan filling strategy (as water leaves the top, taking the time to fill the gaps in order to reach the tops – Chinese philosophy). The second issue was the skills and characteristics of negotiator, then the preparation and pre negotiation of understanding the culture, heritage, habits and social backgrounds of the other party. Then some focus on the observation techniques and body language analysis; the specialties, background and roles of the negotiation team; and the importance of the psychological member in the team which has been neglected in the Arab negotiations. As internal feedback, perhaps it was better presenting the Shark Island exercise after the negotiation strategies and skills session, to allow participants apply some of the presented skills.

Day Five Thursday 20/10/2011 The activity of this day five started with feedback on the previous day events focusing on the learning aspects of the negotiation strategies and skills. Trainer Khalid Tahri presented the negotiation strategy working steps, after which the participants went in the working groups to work out their "Negotiation Strategy".
Mr. Waleed Sukkar, made a presentation on the (Libya- Tunis- Algeria) aquifer, as example of a successful case of conflict resolution in the water sector.
The presentations of the negotiation strategy took place in the second and third session, and as usual were followed by discussion. The training team agreed to allow more room for discussion to compensate the time pressure through the previous days. A film on the Red-Dead Sea project was presented to make the Jordanian case more clear. In the session three, and after the lunch break, the trainer Mostafa Biad presented the topic "how to strengthen cross-sector water cooperation and coordination? The presentation covered : -
Water resource system: conflicts vs. cooperation. Conflict management mechanisms. Water governance. IWRM. Water Dialogue. Benefit Sharing.
As the workshop components were completed, the Trainer Jamal Al Salah referred to the Course road Map with a reminder to each working step encouraging the participants to bring their reminders on the topics.
The last working step was announced by Trainer Khalid Tahri on "What next?" ,it is about action plans and what the participants can apply in their inter-sector cooperation to manage multi stakeholders dialogue on water conflicts, individual self-assignment to be done back home. The participants were given a form to fill, and then each participant was given one minute to express his plan/ action. Before closing participants filled the evaluation form, evaluation was analyzed and documented by ACWUA (please see the evaluation results and annex 1). Then the participants were given the opportunity for final comments and recommendations. On behalf of the organizers ACWUA and GIZ, Dr. Thomas Petermann and the training team distributed the certificates and made the final closing.

Comments / Notes by the team of trainers and participants
Each working day program was prepared on a flipchart, presented in plenary and related to the road map of the course.
Each training day started with reflection/ summary on the content and learning achieved in the previous day.
A daily summary group was in-charge to prepare and present the reflection/ Summary.
All workshop activities and presentations were carried with visualization tools.
The trainers had daily meeting session after the closing session for evaluation, feedback and planning of the next day.
Each working day/ session was carried by a trainer with support by at least one co-trainer / facilitator from the training team.
The working groups were mixed of members from all participating countries, to achieve higher exchange of information and experiences.
The large number of participants brings to five –Six working groups, leads to too much time on presentation of the group products and discussion by the group. From a positive point of view, such combination allows high level of interaction, learning and exchange of experience; the advice is to consider longer workshop duration balancing all relevant factors.
The feedback of the participants was mainly positive on the topic of the course and the working methodology. Some participants expected more time for the negotiation strategy and skills with practical application. This is recommended to be considered as a topic course in the future.
All presented material, documents and handouts, and all groups products are made available on a USB flash that was handed over to each participant.
Although the trainers work together for the first time as trainers, they practiced high levels of cooperation and mutual support that worked to create high homogeneity and reflected positively on the workshop content, procedure, and results.
The training team likes to address their thanks to all participants for their full commitment, dedication, participation and cooperation in all workshop sessions. Special thanks to Dr. Thomas Petermann and Ms. Andrea Notz for their efforts in organizing this course, together with ACWUA team.
