| Summary: | A remarkable program of cooperation in
the Nile basin is bringing change to millions of people
living in poverty. By promoting trust and cooperation
between the 10 Nile countries, the Nile basin initiative
(NBI) has enabled these countries to advance a shared vision
for development of the region based on sustainable
management and equitable use of the Nile water resources.
Countries have come together to plan and implement
development projects that are proving to be transformative
in terms of food, water, and energy security - as well as
improving the resilience of some of the poorest in society.
Once implemented, these projects promise to benefit nearly
30 million people. |
