The WRC is partnering with the American University in Cairo, five Egyptian universities, four other U.S.-based universities, and industry partners to create the Alexandria Water Resilience Center of Excellence (AWR-COE).  The initiative is funded by a $30 million grant from the USAID, as part of a program to initiate Centers of Excellence in Water, Energy, and Agriculture in Egypt.  In Late March, Julie Padowski and Jonathan Yoder of the WRC attended the USAID launch of Centers of Excellence in Water, Energy, and Agriculture, and a kickoff workshop to initiate the Alexandria Water Resilience Center of Excellence (AWR-COE) in Cairo, Egypt.
