> Transboundary Water Management as a Regional Public Good
> Financing development – an example from the Nile Basin
>
> Description
> Cooperative transboundary management of the Nile River Basin is an
> important public good in itself, as well as a source of regional
> public goods. Evidence suggests that investment in water resources
> management and development holds significant opportunities for
> economic development in the Nile Basin. While the economic returns
> of large multi-purpose projects may be significant, indirect
> benefits and public good benefits do not necessarily translate into
> direct revenue streams that can sustain these investments. This has
> important implications for the financing of Nile projects, their
> financial performance and their economic justification.
>
> The report, published by the Stockholm International Water
> Institute (SIWI) with financial support from the Swedish
> International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), focuses on
> public goods in the context of the Nile Basin. It explores public
> goods as one justification for soft financing such as grant
> financing that complements other sources of public and private
> financing, thus enhancing the financial sustainability of
> cooperative river-basin management and development projects which
> provide important public goods.
