Abstract: The idea of establishing a Knowledge Network in the Nile region emerged after encouraging experiences with the first Regional Training Centre on River Engineering in Cairo since 1996. In January 2002 more than 50 representatives from all ten Nile basin countries signed the Cairo Declaration at the end of a kick-off workshop was held in Cairo. This declaration in which the main principles of the network were laid down marked the official start of the Nile Basin Capacity Building Network in River Engineering (NBCBN-RE) as an open network of national and regional capacity building institutions and professional sector organizations.
