Other River Basin Organisations
Rivers are a natural resource that have been a focal point of transboundary governance for centuries. It is challenging to manage them for the benefit of riparian communities – especially if they are transboundary. This requires the development of a water infrastructure to harvest the socioeconomic benefits, while at the same time protecting the ecosystem for future generations.

Based on the experiences of several RBOs worldwide, several key characteristics for their effectiveness can be identified. -
