Abstract:There are a number of regional organizations in the Eastern Africa region, the NBI inclusive, that have overlapping mandates, and overlapping geographical jurisdiction, that are involved in the promotion of multi-sectoral investments within the Nile Basin. At present, there is no framework for coordination of investment project identification and preparation among the various regional organisations, and no mechanism for basin-wide project prioritization, or ensuring that the multisectoral projects promoted by the regional organisations are optimized from a basin-wide perspective and designed to deliver equitable benefits to all Nile riparians states. Furthermore, there is a lack of a common integrated multisectoral and multi-agency investment plan for the Nile River Basin. Such an investment plan would be a key tool for mobilization of resources towards the sustainable development and management of the shared Nile Water Resources.
