The investment projects prioritized have the greatest benefit to the water, food, energy and environment sectors, improve rural livelihoods while having the least impact on the natural flow of the Nile River. NELSAP contributes to water security through evidence- catchment-based planning, enhanced storage, and more efficient (management) use of water resources, increased investment and better protection of the natural resource base, maintenance and protection of the watershed and improvement of water productivity. DOWNLOAD Power Development and Trade Sub-program The Power Trade and Development is one of the NELSAP Subprograms that comprises projects that are developed in line with the overall goal of NELSAP - To contribute to the eradication of the poverty and promote economic growth by increasing access to electricity in the NEL Region. Access to affordable and reliable electricity is a priority for the NEL countries’ economies because it is a prerequisite to poverty reduction and socio-economic growth. A Majority of NEL countries have low access to electricity primarily due to limited power trade in the region at present. This situation has brought the Member States in the region to commit to regional integration of their electricity grids. An integrated Nile Equatorial Lakes (NEL) power market holds the promise of increasing access, improving reliability and affordability of power supply to each member country. Read more about NELSAP power projects that are either in the pipeline or ongoing and those that have been completed so far, to achieve this aim of regional power security.
