Uganda: Young Professional – Social Media Communications

1.0 Introduction

The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is a regional intergovernmental partnership that seeks to develop the River Nile in a cooperative manner, share substantial socio-economic benefits and promote regional peace and security. NBI was established on 22 February, 1999 by riparian countries and continues to be led by 10 Member States namely Burundi, DR Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, The Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Eritrea participates as an observer. NBI was conceived as a transitional institution until the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) negotiations were finalized and a permanent institution created.

The partnership is guided by a **Shared Vision: **To achieve sustainable socio-economic development through equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin Water resources. The shared belief is that countries can achieve better outcomes for all the peoples of the Basin through cooperation rather than competition. At the heart of this challenge is the imperative to eradicate poverty.

The NBI is overseen by a Council of 10 Ministers (Nile-COM) in charge of Water Affairs in the NBI Member States, which meets once a year. This is the highest decision-making body and provides policy guidance. A Nile Technical Advisory Committee (Nile-TAC), of 20 senior government officials from the partner states meets at least twice a year and oversees the work of NBI as well as offers technical support and advice to the Nile-COM on matters related to the management and development of the common Nile Basin water resources.**The NBI has got three core Program Areas: **(i) Basin Cooperation Program whose objective is to facilitate, support and nurture cooperation amongst the Nile Basin countries so as to promote timely and efficient joint actions required for securing benefit from the common Nile Basin water resources. (ii) Water Resource Management Program with the objective to assess, manage and safeguard the water resource base that supports the peoples of the Nile Basin through applying the principles of knowledge-based Integrated Water Resources Management to water development planning and assessment. (iii) **Water Resource Development Program** whose objective is to identify, prepare and facilitate investment in trans-boundary water development projects and programs whilst avoiding negative impacts on the health of the Nile Basin’s resources through applying the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management.
