Niger Basin Authority

Published purpose

This regional program aims to build the management capacities of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) in its mission to promote cooperation among member countries for integrated management of the basin's water resources. On a medium-term basis, the program seeks the implementation of more integrated management of the use of the basin's natural resources. The goal of this program is to make NBA an institution with a legal and institutional framework, an organization that can truly operate and perform on a long-term basis, focusing on the basin's sustainable development for the well-being of communities on the Niger River. The program aims to build capacities in three areas: the NBA Secretariat, national mechanisms, and civil society.
