Shared Vision Shared Vision Program (SVP) Technical Assistance type projects to create an enabling environment Shared Vision for cooperative investments, build Program trust and action on the ground, within a basin-wide framework. • Subsidiary Action Program (SAP) Subsidiary – Investment projects planned at the Action Prog. lowest appropriate level - within the basin-wide framework – Aimed at poverty reduction, Action on the ground economic development & reversal of environmental degradation What is NELSAP NILE BASIN INITIATIVE Initiative du Bassin du Nil NELSAP’s role is to facilitate pre-investment planning (institutions and Projects) and resource mobilization. Future role of the currently expanded NELSAP is being explored through the IDS and other related studies that are ongoing (NELSAP Strategic Plan, Inter-country sub-basin agreements). NELSAP‟s mission it to “…Contribute to the eradication of poverty, promote economic growth and Reverse environmental degradation in the NEL region.” NELSAP addresses development issues in the NEL Region in two key areas (i) Natural Resources Management and Development (ii) Power Development and Trade What are the key characteristics of NEL Region? NILE• BASINA INITIATIVE rich hydrology of lakes and Initiative dutributaries Bassin du Nil that forms a transboundary system draining to the Lake Victoria and Albert nile and tributaries from South Sudan to form the White Nile. • Major tributaries generated from rain mountain forests which are the last remaining in Africa = water towers (Mau escarpment, Virunga complex, Nyungwe/Kibira forest, Mont Elgon and Mont Ruhenzori…) • Include several lakes and wetlands of global importance (lake Victoria, Sudd…) • Several protected areas of international importance (Masai- Mara& Serengeti, Virunga complex,…) What are the threats in the NEL region?

NILE BASIN• INITIATIVENELSAP broadens cooperation by: Initiative du Bassin du Nil – providing a vehicle for consensus, consultation, cooperation in Nile development projects – strengthening economic growth and reduction of poverty by identifying and preparing investment projects for the development of shared water resources – Facilitating multi country agreements for investment financing and for future management through the national agencies – promoting „beyond the river‟ cooperation (ag. trade, Power trade) – expanding existing regional frameworks • Cooperation enhances regional integration through – regional and sub regional cooperation programs on regional water infrastructure; – trade and investment cooperation and integration; – monetary and financial cooperation and integration; and – Cooperation in regional public goods How are Projects Prepared and Implemented?
