We recognize that the Basin is a water scarce region, countries are grappling with meeting the rapidly growing demands for water, food and energy and poverty is rampant with six of the 10 NBI Member States among the least developed in the world. At the same time, the different and conflicting interests could affect regional peace and security. Nevertheless, progress can only be made through cooperation.

Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP) staff work with Member States governments, civil society, the private sector, women, youth, development partners and others to reduce poverty, ensure water security for all, environmental sustainability, regional peace and security  and preserve integrity of the Nile, the world’s greatest river. We know that to attract and maintain the world’s top talent, we must provide a growth-oriented work environment where you know what to expect from us and where we know what to expect from you.
