  • Updated description of Final Project Report Friend Nile 2001-2006 from

    This is the final report of the Capacity Building and Networking of the Nile Countries: FRIEND (Flow Regime from International Experimental and Network Data) Nile Project – Phase 1 (Budget Code: 513RAB2042). This project was successfully executed by UNESCO Cairo Regional Office and implemented by University of Dar Es Salaam of Tanzania, National Water Research Center of Egypt, UNESCO Chair in Water Resources of Sudan, University of Nairobi of Kenya and Ministry of Water Resources of Ethiopia. The overall coordinator of this project is the Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) of Egypt. The project was funded by the Flemish Government of Belgium through the Flanders – UNESCO Science Fund-In-Trust cooperation. All project members express their great appreciation to the Flemish Government of Belgium for funding the project and continued fruitful co-operation with UNESCO. Furthermore, the project team appreciates the technical support and efforts of the Flemish experts leaded by Dr. Rudy Herman, Economy, Science and Innovation Department, Flanders Authority, Belgium. This report is an achievement resulted from fruitful cooperation between the thematic coordinators and research teams in the participating Nile countries. These experts played an active role in the implementation of this project.

    The FRIEND/Nile project, implemented in two phases (2001-2006 and 2007-2013), aimed to enhance water resources management in the Nile Basin through regional cooperation, capacity building, and applied hydrological research. Initiated under the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) and funded by the Flemish Government of Belgium, the project engaged key institutions across five Nile Basin countries—Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The project focused on improving understanding of the river's hydrological regime through collaborative research and data sharing. Phase I (2001-2006) established technical and institutional cooperation, emphasizing four key research components: Rainfall-Runoff Modeling, Sediment Transport and Watershed Management, Flood Frequency Analysis, and Drought and Low Flow Analysis. Over 20 training workshops and technical meetings were conducted, enhancing the capacity of researchers and institutions within the region. The project facilitated data acquisition, model development, and technical publications, laying the foundation for improved transboundary water governance. Phase II (2007-2013) expanded on these efforts by addressing new challenges such as eco-hydrology, stochastic modeling, and erosion and sediment transport. It introduced advanced hydrological models, improved performance monitoring, and evaluated climate change impacts on water availability in the Nile Basin. The project contributed to enhanced scientific cooperation, strengthened institutional frameworks, and provided policy-relevant insights to support sustainable water resource management.
