Water challenges in the IGAD region: towards new legal frameworks for cooperation
2016
Nanni, Marcella
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) was first established in 1986 as a regional integration organization addressing drought in the Greater Horn of Africa, i.e., Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. Since water resources in the region are transboundary, in 2012 the IGAD started developing a regional water policy and protocol. This paper shows how regional policy and legal frameworks may be established despite differences in socio-economic, climatic and other conditions, considering that while progress was made towards a legal framework for the Nile Basin, much work is to be done with regard to other shared water resources.
