The 1992, six Nile countries (Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda), with the other riparians (Burundi, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Kenya) participating as observers, have formed a transitional mechanism known as the Technical Co-operation for the Promotion of the Development and Environmental Protection of the Nile Basin (TECCONILE)(Kagwanja, 2007; Metawie, 1999). The cooperation had a strong technical focus with a prospect of the establishment of a permanent basin-wide institution after three years, however, this did not occur (Metawie, 1999). The cooperation’s far projects are the Nile River Basin Action Plan (NRBAP) formed in 1995, containing 22 technical assistance and capacity building projects related to the Nile Basin and the D3 Project to develop the ‘Nile River Basin Cooperative Framework’ for the management of the Nile (Kagwanja, 2007).
