The MAW’ Terms of Reference (ToR) was adopted by the members of MAW in January 2017, and last amended in June 2024.

The document outlines the scope of the MAW, emphasizing its voluntary network structure, collaborative approach, and strategic objectives, including communication, capacity-building, advocacy, and policy coordination, with a detailed overview of its governance bodies, operational protocols, and resource management.

The MAW’ ToR serves as a guiding framework for all members, ensuring clarity and alignment with MAW mission, vision and values. 

The mission of the Mediterranean Alliance for Wetlands (MAW) is to increase the capacity of Mediterranean societies to ensure the protection, restoration and sustainable use of wetlands and rivers.
