Background

The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is implementing a Project entitled “Enhancing Conjunctive Management of Surface and Groundwater Resources in Selected Transboundary Aquifers: Case Study for Selected Shared Groundwater Bodies in the Nile Basin” with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The project aims to attain more effective utilization and protection of selected shared aquifers in the selected sub-basin in the Eastern Nile and the Nile Equatorial Lakes region through further improving the understanding of available groundwater resources and demonstrating ‘conjunctive management’ that optimizes the joint use of surface and groundwater. The project is focusing on three transboundary aquifers, namely:
i) Gedaref-Agordat Aquifer (between Ethiopia and Sudan),
ii) Kagera Aquifer (covering parts of Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda), and
iii) The Mt Elgon Aquifer (between Kenya and Uganda).

This assignment has two segments, namely:
A. Supply and Installation of Data Loggers for monitoring the Kagera Transboundary Aquifer.
