On 21 September 2022, the African Development Bank's Water Development and Sanitation Department will launch a report entitled "Climate-proofing Transboundary Water Agreements in Africa."

The report serves as a starting point for adopting a systematic approach to agreements on transboundary waters in Africa. The publication addresses the lack of flexibility in the distribution of water and the management of hydrological variability.

By taking stock of existing agreements on transboundary waters in Africa, the report assesses their management capacity, use and development of water resources, in addition to measuring the impact of climate change in this area on the African continent.

The event will present the findings of the report and feature several speakers from river basin organizations from around the world.
