The document discusses the challenges facing management of the Nile River Basin due to socioeconomic and environmental changes. Population growth, urbanization, and expanding agriculture have increased demands for water, food, and energy across the basin. At the same time, the region faces threats from climate change such as more extreme droughts and floods, rising sea levels, and desertification. Existing regional institutions aim to promote cooperation among Nile countries to help meet development needs while protecting the river ecosystem, but challenges remain in coordinating responses across different governmental levels and jurisdictions.

Editor's Notes
- Several basin commissions at national level
- IGAD: 7 Horn/East African states Recurring and severe droughts and other natural disasters between 1974 and 1984 caused widespread famine, ecological degradation and economic hardship in the Horn of Africa region. Although individual countries took substantial measures to cope with the problems and received support from the international community , its extent argued strongly for a regional approach to supplement national efforts. The six countries of the region took action through the United Nations to establish an intergovernmental body for development and drought control in their region. Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) is a specialized institution of the East African Community (EAC) that is responsible for coordinating the sustainable development agenda of the Lake Victoria Basin.
