Content
- Define the developmental priorities that are related to water, food and energy;
- Identify trade-offs among these sectors as well as among the riparian countries that hamper water and/or energy and/or food security as well as the developmental potentials;
- Identify potential benefits to be shared among sectors as well as among countries;
- Define the steps to be followed at transboundary level (basins) as means to address trade-offs, unsustainable practices and externalities, and enable benefit sharing.
