Resumen
Descripción
A regional cooperation effort
coordinated by the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) has created a
credible system that links multiple stakeholders to work
together to address flooding and its impacts. The Flood
Preparedness and Early Warning (FPEW) project that ran until
2010 operated in Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan. It created a
regional flood preparedness and early warning program which
is ongoing, reducing the risk of flood devastation for over
2 million people in the region.
