NILE BASIN INITIATIVE BACKGROUNDByA.M.FARAHAT

THE ISSUE  Nile water agreements between Egypt and the British date back more than 100 years.  Core objective: No up projects affecting Egypt’s share of water.  The independence move of the sixties.  Criticism and the seeds of confrontation.  The consensus on the need for a paradigm shift: cooperation instead of confrontation.

EARLY ATTEMPTS  Before  1993: Technical Cooperation Committee for the Promotion of the Development and Environmental Protection of the Nile Basin (TECCONILE).  Shortcomings.

NILE BASIN INITIATIVE  1997 Nile-COM called World Bank to cooperate with UNDP&CIDA to establich a cooperating scheme for NB countries.  1998 NB countries (except Eriteria) jointly established an inclusive transitional mechanism for cooperation until a permanent framework is established.  In 1999 the process was officially named the NB Initiative.
