Overview  Background Information  Issues within the Basin  Organization Development

Background  Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Benin, Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria  4100 km  Basin Sections: Upper, Inland Delta, and Lower  Major tributaries: Bani, Sokoto-Rima, and Benue  Population: 150 million

Mali Dams Sotuba Dam - Built in km^3 of water use Selingue Dam - Built in Power Capacity: 44 MW Million kWh/yr Markala Dam - Built in Power Capacity: 10 MW

Nigeria Dams Jebba Dam - Built in Power Capacity: 540 MW - Water Capacity: 3600 mil m^3 Kainji Dam - Built in Power Capacity: 760 MW - Creates Lake Kainji

Basin History  Colonial Era - Conference of Berlin, Franco-German Treaty, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 1919  Post-Colonial Era - Niger River Commission, Niger Basin Authority, FONDAS 1980  Political Instability

Water Related Issues  Development and Increased Population - Irrigation Potential - Hydropower Potential - Transportation - Flood and Drought Mitigation - Livestock and Fisheries - Ecotourism

Water Related Issues (con’t)  Environment - Land Degradation - Water Degradation - Deforestation - Biodiversity Loss - Climate Change

Possible Solutions  Basin-Wide Sustainability - Beyond Unilateral Planning  Strong Political Leadership - NBA - World Bank

Discussion  What do you think would be more effective for the Niger Basin Authority, to focus on fundraising and development projects, or work to establish a plan for development and management for the basin as a whole?  How much influence should developed countries in the region have over the development in developing countries in the basin? How could the international community help with the basin or this region?  Why do you think that the countries of the basin have been able to work well together? What lessons do you think we can learn from this basin’s cooperation?
