Regional Institutions
The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is an intergovernmental partnership of 10 Nile Basin countries: Burundi, DR Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, The Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Eritrea participates as an observer. It aims to provide a forum for consultation and coordination among the Basin States for the sustainable management and development of the shared Nile Basin water and related resources for win-win benefits.
With Lake Victoria as source of the Nile River, the Lake Victoria Basin is part of the Nile Basin and the five Partner States of LVBC are also members of NBI. In October 2020 the Executive Secretary of LVBC and the Executive Director of NBI agreed on enhanced cooperation, which would focus first on joint use of the Nile Basin Decision Support System (NB DSS) and data management. Further cooperation within the framework of the LVB IWRM Programme will be actively pursued.
Development Partners
The Programme is Co-funded by the German Development Cooperation, the European Union and the Lake Victoria Partner States and is implemented by KfW.
