The Master Project Appraisal Document for the Nile Basin Initiative long-term goal of the Shared Vision Program (SVP) is to create the enabling environment for the Nile riparians to realize their vision to "achieve sustainable socioeconomic development through the equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources." The specific development objective of the Shared Vision Program is to build trust, capacity, and an enabling environment for investment in Nile Basin countries. This objective will be achieved through the implementation of the projects in the SVP portfolio and the successful coordination and management of the program throughout the basin. The projects in the SVP portfolio and their primary objectives are as follows: Provide a strategic framework for environmentally sustainable development of the Nile River Basin and support basinwide environmental action linked to transboundary issues in the context of the NBI Strategic Action Program. Establish the institutional means to coordinate the development of regional power markets among the Nile Basin countries. Provide a sound conceptual and practical basis to increase the availability and efficient use of water for agricultural production. Enhance analytical capacity for a basinwide perspective to support the development, management, and protection of Nile Basin water resources in an equitable, optimal, integrated and sustainable manner. Develop confidence in regional cooperation under the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), both at the basin and local levels, and ensure full stakeholder involvement in the NBI and its projects. Strengthen the capacity in selected subject areas of water resources planning and management in the public and private sectors and community groups; strengthen centers with the capacity to develop and deliver programs on a continuing basis; and expand the frequency and scope of basin interchange among water professionals. Strengthen Nile River basinwide socioeconomic cooperation and integration. Strengthen the capacity of NBI institutions to execute basinwide programs and ensure effective oversight and coordination of the NBl's Shared Vision Program.
