CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains; March 28 2024

The CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains convened a three-day workshop in Maputo, Mozambique, on “Transboundary multistakeholder platforms (MSPs) and the Incomati Basin.” The objectives were to learn from the experiences of other MSPs in shared basins throughout Africa; identify the role of an MSP in the Incomati Basin and how one could be incorporated within the existing governance structure; and clarify how to build on the capacity of existing stakeholder activities in the three countries of the basin.

The event, which took place in March, was organized by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), with support from the Incomati and Maputo Watercourse Commission (INMACOM).

The workshop was attended by stakeholders from the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM), Inkomati-Usuthu Catchment Management Agency (IUCMA) and the Commissioner of International Water in Relations South Africa; the South Regional Water Administration (ARA-Sul) in Mozambique; the Principal Secretary of The Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy in Eswatini; the Joint River Basin Authorities – Project Board (JRBA-PB) in Eswatini.
