| Summary: | The countries of the Nile Basin have
been working together for the past 15 years to build a
program of cooperation that allows them to utilize their
shared resource equitably for regional economic development.
Through the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), they have generated
extensive, impartial knowledge and information about the
river basin. Developing a common understanding of the river
system has been crucial for building trust among the
countries. Today, this knowledge is embedded in accessible
information systems, informing planning, policies, and
projects that are set to improve opportunities for economic
growth across the region. |
