Seminar on National and Trans-boundary Water Resources Management in Africa

The focus of the seminar is on tools for implementing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in national and trans-boundary river basins and aquifers. Specifically, the seminar is intended to: (a) present the main instruments (technological, financial, legal and economic) to support the implementation of IWRM at the country and basins/aquifers levels; (b) present the procedure for taking into account the effects of climate change and other emerging threats on water resources; (c) share experiences on the development of IWRM instruments in countries and river basins/aquifers in Africa and (d) conduct a review of progress at regional, national and basins/trans-boundary aquifers in the use of instruments for IWRM in Africa.
