May 2010 to April 2012, NBD focused firmly on implementing two key outputs. First, ensuring that there is an increased awareness of the benefits of Nile cooperation and secondly, adding value to the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) planning, policy, design and implementation of programmes. As this two year report shows,  NBD and its ten Nile Discourse Forums (NDFs), member organizations and other partners have played a significant role in raising awareness on the benefits of Nile Cooperation and influencing NBI policies and Subsidiary Action Plan (SAP) projects and thereby changing the lives of the Nile Basin citizens, for the better.
