Welcome to the CBSI Project Website
Having recognized their common concerns and interests, the Nile riparian countries established in 1999 the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) whose vision is “to achieve sustainable socio-economic development through the equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources.” To translate this shared vision into action, the NBI launched a Strategic Action Program which includes two complementary components: a basin-wide Shared Vision Program (SVP) andSubsidiary Action Programs (SAPs). The Confidence Building & Stakeholder Involvement Project is one of the thematic projects bieng implemented basin-wide to help establish a foundation for trans-boundary regional cooperation and create an enabling environment conducive to investments and action on ground within an agreed basin-wide framework.
