The development objective of the Nile Cooperation for Results Project for Africa is to facilitate cooperative water resource management and development in the Nile basin. The project consists of three components, each of which intends to provide customized support to facilitate activities in the three operational Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) centers, the Nile Secretariat (Nile-SEC), the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program Coordination Unit (NELSAP-CU), and the Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office (ENTRO). The first component is advancing Nile basin-wide cooperation and analysis. This component will support results at Nile-SEC related to its two core functions of facilitating cooperation and water resources management. Under this component, the NBI will provide targeted technical assistance and operational support to the Nile governments and wider stakeholders, including tools, knowledge products, analysis and opportunity for dialogue. It has two sub-components as noted below: (a) strengthening the platform for basin-wide cooperation; and (b) enhancing capacity and understanding for cooperative management and development of water resources in the Nile basin. The second component is promotion of sustainable development and planning in the Nile equatorial lakes region. This component will support NELSAP-CU in its efforts to identify and prepare potential strategic cooperative investment opportunities. This component has following two sub-components: (i) identifying and promoting strategic opportunities to advance cooperative water resource management and development; and (ii) preparing transformative investment projects of regional significance. The third component is promotion of sustainable development and planning in the Eastern Nile region. This component will support ENTRO in promoting cooperation among Eastern Nile riparian countries in a challenging hydro-political environment. This component has following two sub-components: (1) strengthening the knowledge base and analytical framework for Eastern Nile water resources planning and management; and (2) promoting sustainable development and growth in the Eastern Nile.
