development Growing awareness at political and technical levels Riparian states recognise benefits to gain from
cooperation Nile Basin Initiative (NBI)), 9 countries and Eritrea
(established in 1999) Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) developed a shared vision Multi track approach dealing with a strategic plan and
developing cooperative legal and institutional framework acceptable to all
Transitional institutional arrangement

Broad spectrum of areas of cooperation exist:
Strategic Action Program to realise the visionShared vision (BASIN-WIDE)Subsidiary Action Plan (SUB-BASIN)
Cooperation with International Community International Consortium for Cooperation on
the Nile (ICCON)
Development of legal and institutional framework acceptable to all

4. Confidence Building and Stakeholder\ involvement
Strong political support from basin countriesMinisterial and parliamentarians Journalists, civil society and others
Participation at heart of Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) process Cross sectoral and participatory approach Stakeholder participation focusing on :
Communication and Public informationConfidence buildingExchange of knowledge and information

5. Benefits of Cooperation
Four kinds:
Benefits to the river-Ecosystem….Benefits from the river-use,power..Benefits that arise from reduced transaction cost-
cooperative dev,inf.Benefits beyond the river-spinoffs,
econ.integration,…

6. Partnership and Financing
Countries finance core secretariat functions, support in form of partnerships
Financing mechanisms that involve soliciting funds through forum called ICCOMFirst ICCON meeting held in Geneva in 2001Nile Basin Trust Fund (preferred mechanism)
Funding Gaps for Shared Vision Program and partnership grants and soft loans needed for subsidiary investment projects

8. Way Forward
Scaling – up of investment programs for tangible benefits to riparian states and communities,
Strengthening,sustaining and broadening the cooperation,
Successful implementation of initial portfolio of projects to demonstrate results and benefits

Conclusion
Nile Basin Countries see cooperation and Co-operative action,where appropriate, as the best option aiming at Win-Win projects and benefits,
Cooperation is growing among countries with Nile waters as entry for broader and greater benefits including economic integration,
Donor support encouraging and more support needed-buying into the NBI Shared Vision,
Infrastructure investment funding challenging- Public financing most viable for the basin supported by partnership Grants/Trust Funds,and Soft/concessionary loans as private sector not attracted
