These sessions focused on empowering participants to apply water diplomacy tools practically and to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges facing cooperation among the basin countries.

Specialized committees were formed, and practical tasks were assigned with the goal of ensuring the continuity of cooperation and documenting the achievements made within the framework of the project. Motivational sessions also addressed issues related to data collection and analysis challenges and provided recommendations for developing reliable health information systems that support fair and effective water resource management.
This workshop comes within a comprehensive vision to enhance regional integration and activate the role of media and gender in achieving participatory and sustainable management of water resources in the Eastern Nile region.
