The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is an inter-governmental organization initiated and led by the Nile riparian countries to promote joint development, protection and management of the common Nile Basin water resources. NBI has a Shared Vision, namely: \'to promote sustainable socioeconomic development through the equitable utilization of\', and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources\'.

The NBI provides a unique forum for the countries of the Nile Basin to move toward a cooperative process to realize tangible benefits in the basin and build a solid foundation of trust and confidence. The Nile Council of Ministers [Nile-COM] serves as the highest decision-making body of the NBI. The Nile-COM is supported by the NBI Technical Advisory Committee [Nile-TAC], which is composed of two senior officials from each member country.

NBI is managed from three Centers. The first Centre at Entebbe, Uganda, forms the NBI Secretariat (Nile-SEC) and  the other 2 centres are situated  in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (ENTRO) and Kigali, Rwanda (NELSAP-CU).

Core Functions 
The NBI performs three core functions:
