Final Project Report Friend Nile 2007-2013
The FRIEND/Nile Project – Phase II (2007-2013) aimed to build upon the successes of the first phase by advancing hydrological research and strengthening capacity for sustainable water management across the Nile Basin. Funded by the Flemish Government of Belgium through the Flanders-UNESCO Science Trust Fund (FUST), the project was implemented under the UNESCO International Hydrological Programme (IHP) and involved key institutions from Nile Basin countries, including Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
The second phase expanded research efforts to include new thematic areas such as eco-hydrology, stochastic modeling, and erosion and sediment transport. It introduced advanced hydrological models and methodologies to better understand and predict water flow regimes, sediment dynamics, and the impacts of climate variability on water availability. The project facilitated regional cooperation by fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders, enabling data sharing and the development of standardized methodologies for water resources management.
Key achievements of Phase II included the implementation of capacity-building programs through technical workshops and training sessions, the production of scientific publications, and the establishment of a sustainable regional hydrological network. The project also provided decision-support tools and recommendations to guide water management strategies in the face of growing pressures such as population growth, climate change, and competing water demands.
