#News: #Nile Basin Development Forum held in #Nairobi The Fourth Nile Basin Development Forum held in Nairobi on Monday (October 6) on the theme, “Building Sustainable Trans-boundary Cooperation in a Complex River Basin: Challenges, Lessons and Prospects”. The official opening ceremony was presided over by Professor Judi W. Wakhungu, Cabinet Secretary-Ministry of Environment, Water, and Natural Resources of Kenya. Key note addresses were given by ministerial level officials from Tanzania, Sudan, and from the World Bank. Professor Wakhungu told participants: We are hoping that cooperation around the Nile is going to increase security and stability. The key words are equitable and responsible use of the Nile resources. She said the NBI had advanced a cooperative process to realize tangible benefits, build trust and confidence among its members. Mutaz Musa Abdalla Salim, Sudan’s Minister of Water Resources and Electricity, Chair of the NBI Council of Ministers said the overall investment preparation leveraged under the NBI currently stood at $6.5 billion. He told the Forum that the NBI was at a critical juncture with resources dwindling with the closure of the World Bank-managed Nile Basin Trust Fund in December. He appealed to member states to honor their obligations to the NBI, and to development partners to continue their support to enable effective implementation of its programs. The NBI Forum is being followed by a donor round table on Wednesday (October 8) seeking to mobilize resources for the implementation of NBI-facilitated investment projects. The Nile Basin includes 11 countries that either use or are the source of much of the river water. They are Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Eritrea participates as an observer. The Nile Basin Initiative was created in 1999 to start negotiations for a treaty that would lead to an all-inclusive use of the river. The Comprehensive Framework Agreement was signed in 2010. It has been ratified by Ethiopia and Rwanda so far; Kenya says it will do so before the end of the year. mfa.gov.et/news/more.php?newsid=3562
