WaDImena Applied Research and Field-Level Pilot Projects aim to fill gaps in knowledge and generate innovative research for the demonstration of a water demand management strategy or tool within a specific context. A total of seven priorities were classified to drive nationally implemented research with results shared regionally. These areas, which were defined by WaDImena stakeholders during country consultations, partners consultative workshop, and an analysis of lessons learned from previous WDM initiatives are:
