There are more than 60 international rivers within the continent of Africa, and these shared waters will need to be developed and managed in an equitable manner in order to meet the water resource needs of the African people whilst protecting the environment. Topics considered include: the economics of international rivers; the links between water resources management and economic growth and poverty; the concept of water as an economic good and its implications; and the challenges of co-operative, transboundary management.
