The MENA powers and the Nile Basin Initiative
Okoth, Simon H.

The MENA powers and the Nile Basin Initiative[electronic resource] /by Simon H. Okoth. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xxxix, 269 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: The Conflict, Background, and Resolution -- Chapter 2: Colonial Treaties and Creation of the Nile Basin Initiative -- Chapter 3: Declaration of Principles, Challenges and Limitations -- Chapter 4: Lessons Learned -- Chapter 5: Navigating Solutions through Theoretical Lenses -- Chapter 6: Renegotiating the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) -- Chapter 7: Policy Recommendations and Conclusions.

This book presents the current conflict in the Middle East and North Africa over the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), the biggest in Africa. The project explains why economic, and to some extent political, survival is at the core of the conflict, specifically between Egypt and Ethiopia. Although the problem started with insistence of "no dam" by Egypt and subsequently narrowed down to a filling up period of the reservoir and technical operations of the dam, finding a solution agreeable to both nations has been elusive for the past eight years. Ensuring water for all members in the Basin is consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, particularly given the looming effects of climate change, increasing population, urbanization, and rising consumptive water uses. Simon H. Okoth is professor of Political Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA.
