ABSTRACT
The governance regime of the Nile waters has been changing significantly in the past decade, with new transboundary settings being initiated, based on the principle of multilat- eral cooperation. The establishment of the Nile Basin Initiative and the negotiations for a new agreement in the basin (the Cooperative Framework Agreement) are the major high- lights of the cooperation process in the Nile Basin. Successes, pitfalls and failures of a decade of hydropolitical cooperation are analysed in this chapter.
