Preparing a strategic action plan for the Komadugu-Yobe Basin

October 2014- the Hadejia-Jama'are-Komadugu-Yobe Basin Trust Fund  has received a €2 million grant to prepare a strategic action plan to develop water resources in the Komadugu-Yobe basin in Northern Nigeria. The plan will address fundamental water resources management issues that are preventing increasing water needs in the region from being met. Over 15 million people depend on the basin and stand to benefit from this project, particularly farmers, pastoralists and fishermen.
