Eastern Nile Planning Model

The objective of the Eastern Nile Planning Model Project for Eastern Africa is that countries in the Eastern Nile adopt an improved decision support modeling framework to identify water-related investments and evaluate them in a regional context. There are three components to the project, the first component being knowledge base development. The knowledge base developed will provide a shared, synoptic view of the Eastern Nile basins, including its opportunities and risks as viewed from an economic, environmental and social perspective. Baseline data will be organized systematically in a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform with an associated web portal. Effective use will be made of modern datasets from satellite remote sensing and other global or regional datasets. The second component is the modeling system. The models will build on a water systems 'spine' using tools developed by the Nile Basin Decision Support System (DSS) to help analyze the economic, environmental and social aspects of investments in a water resources systems framework and to evaluate alternative scenarios of the future. The tools developed will draw upon and contribute to the knowledge base developed and will be flexible to adapt to changing needs and increasing information availability. Finally, the third component is the institutional and human capacity building.
