This issue of the Nile Environment has focused on the Nile day celebrations because of its historical importance and its significance in raising awareness in a concerted manner on the challenges of achieving the vision of NBI. The fact that many countries had environmentally related activities as part of the celebrations is a manifestation of the need to put environment in the forefront as we trek the path of sustainable development. We in the NTEAP salute the Executive Director of NBI and Nile Secretariat at large for translating the decision of the NBDF into action, and we take this opportunity to congratulate the riparians for a successful Nile Day celebrations.

The last quarter of 2006 was indeed a busy one for NTEAP. The high lights of the quarter were the Mid Term Review, the participation in the Nile Basin Development Forum (NBDF), the NBI results based system develpment and the second staff retreat. The mid term review came up with useful recommendations to guide planning and implementation of activities during the remaining life of the project. The next NBDF is to take place in Khartoum and the NTEAP has been tasked to lead the preparations. The second staff retreat exhaustively discussed the 2007 work plan and budget, reviewed project implementation in 2006 and came up with recommendations for further improvement of performance and team work.
