EfD centers and policymakers strategize on how to promote sustainable use of Lake Victoria Basin
Lake Victoria is a transboundary natural resource, underpinning the economies and livelihoods of the population of Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. However, the lake and its surrounding areas face many problems including rising lake water levels, moving islands, encroachment, and ecological and biodiversity degradation which may lead to the extinction of several fish species. EfD centers in Uganda and Kenya have convened meetings with researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to address those challenges.
