On the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) and Tree Media have teamed up to follow events in the Middle East (and North Africa) region as told by stakeholders and leaders from the region. Their first topic concerns water, access to water and the prevention of a potential water conflict over the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
