Niger Basin, Some actions

From its source in Guinea to its mouth in Nigeria, water flow sustainability of the Niger River is vital for the 130 million people living in the basin area. The nine member countries of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) undertake different actions materialised in their legislations. Examples of these initiatives include investing in climate change policies, combating the silting of the Niger River, the “Inversion of land and water degradation trends” (ITDTE/BN) project, and a capacity building programme (PRC/CIDA). During the 6th World Water Forum, the NBA will sign the World Pact for Better Basin Management.
