Regional Nile Day: the trade show
The annual Regional Nile Day event is a commemoration of the establishment of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) on 22nd February 1999, by Ministers in charge of Water Affairs in the Nile Basin countries.
The theme for the event is Our Shared Nile - Source of Energy, Food and Water for All.
The links between water-food-energy nexus, livelihoods and economic
development are quite visible in the Nile Basin countries.
NBI will take this opportunity to enhance awareness and understanding among participants and Nile Basin citizens about the inter-relatedness as well as the importance of sustainable basin-wide Nile cooperation in ensuring energy, food and water security in the region.
