 TRANSBOUNDARY WATER COOPERATION IN AFRICA: THE CASE OF THE NILE BASIN INITIATIVE (NBI)Wondwosen Teshome ()
Review of General Management, 2009, vol. 10, issue 2, 129-138 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the economic, social and political benefits of the transboundary cooperation by using the Nile Bain Initiative (NBI) as a case study. It also attempts to identify the obstacles that hinder transboundary cooperation in the Nile Basin. The paper argues that the riparian states in the Nile Basin should work for “benefit-sharing” rather than “water-sharing” and this should be the basis for the transboundary cooperation. It also claims that implementing the concept of benefit-sharing would help in solving problems that are caused by divergent interests among the riparian states in the Nile basin and the up stream-down stream problems frequently manifested in the area. The paper concludes by suggesting the main points that have to be considered in transboundary cooperation. Keywords: “benefit-sharing”; Nile Basin Initiative; transboundary cooperation; “water-sharing.” (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:fmb:journl:v:10:y:2009:i:2:p:129-138 Access Statistics for this article Review of General Management is currently edited by Camelia Stefanescu More articles in Review of General Management from Spiru Haret University, Faculty of Management Brasov Contact information at EDIRC. |
