- Supplemental Information
- <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) Strategy 2017 - 2027 </strong></span><br /><br />The 10-year Strategy document identifies the overall strategic directions for NBI over the 2017-2027 period. The strategy addresses three main issues: What basin challenges the Nile member states expect NBI to address over the next 10 years; and how the NBI as an institution should position itself to effectively discharge its mandate. The strategy takes a medium (10 yrs) term outlook of the basin, factors in basin dynamics and trends in water use and availability and on that basis defines strategic water resources development and management priorities within the ambit of NBI’s mandate. Six basin challenges were identified as strategic priorities of the basin countries to which NBI can meaningfully contribute. Strategic priorities in this case refers to what the NBI needs to focus on and pay attention to in order to achieve its shared vision objective as mandated by the countries. Under each basin challenge, strategic directions, that will help bring about a more optimal and sustainable development of the basin within the mandate of NBI are articulated. Underpinning all the strategic priorities is the increase in cooperation between member states and dialogue with NBI’s broader stakeholders as well as regional actors in the basin. The figure below shows the Nile River Basin.</p>
