Transboundary WRM - Lake Victoria
The project will produce an Atlas of Lake Victoria’s Changing Environment, including training for local experts to create similar atlases
With nearly 90 per cent of the world’s population living in countries where freshwater resources cross borders, the peaceful cooperation and sustainable use of shared waters are critically important. In Africa alone there are 64 shared river/lake basins. These basins are important hubs for economic development and regional integration. By focusing on transboundary waters, GRID-Arendal not only seeks to provide innovative communication tools and products that enable the sustainable use and development of such shared resources.
