Secretariats are an increasingly common feature in Africa’s transboundary river basin organizations (RBOs). Non-secretariat-based forms of transboundary RBOs nonetheless also exist, and such forms of cooperation have often functioned effectively. These realities drive questions about the rationale and role for secretariats. This paper employs two approaches to compare secretariat-based RBOs vis-à-vis RBOs without secretariats in Africa. First, we compared the degree to which five governance instruments, determined to enable effective transboundary water management, are contained in treaties creating secretariat-based RBOs versus treaties creating non-secretariat-based RBOs. Second, the costs and benefits of six African transboundary RBOs – three with secretariat and three without – were compared based on a survey of regular costs and volume and number of projects. Key findings are that RBOs with secretariats have achieved stronger governance and secured more investment than RBOs without secretariats. Costs associated with operating secretariats appear justified by their benefits. These findings help to lay an improved basis for selecting desired models of RBOs in Africa’s transboundary basins.

This study aims to resolve a potential water conflict between the upper catchment communities of the Okavango River Basin and the downward communities in the Okavango Delta. A model to payment for ecosystem services is developed at the basin level, recognizing spatial diversity and water flows. It addresses four objectives: (1) To assess relationships between water consumption and land use from a spatial perspective. (2) To estimate water availability under current land use as a reference without any water policy intervention. (3) To optimize water flow generation as intended for getting ecosystem services. This is based on the mechanism of payments for ecosystem services, specifically in terms of land use change as stewardship. (4) To compensate farmers for economic losses due to upstream land use changes. Our study suggests that an integrated basin management should consider payments for ecosystem services to incentivize forest conservation. The annual payments of US$28.7 million could encourage farmers upstream to change their land uses from deforestation to forest conservation. With compensation, approximately 8.7 million hectares of Miombo forests would be maintained in the basin, which would secure 3656 million m3 of water during the rainy season and subsequently benefit the Delta in the dry season.

Data exchange in transboundary waters is fundamental to advance cooperation in water management. Nonetheless, the degree to which data are actually shared is falling short of basin-level and international targets. A global assessment revealed that a reasonable proportion of river basins exchange some data, but the breadth of such exchange is often limited and not regular. More in-depth examination of African basins nonetheless suggests that a real need for, and use of, water data appears to motivate exchange. Indeed, evidence suggests that data exchange needs which are more directly felt enhance exchange, e.g., the direct need to minimize flood impacts or manage transboundary infrastructure. As such, data sharing is much more likely to be considered as being successful if it responds to a palpable need and serves practical uses. Also, in developing data exchange programs, it may be prudent to adopt a focused and sequential approach to data exchange that starts with a short-list of most needed parameters.

Despite widespread recognition of the importance of data exchange in transboundary waters’ management, there is growing evidence that data exchange is falling short in practice. A possible explanation may be that data exchange occurs where and when it is needed. Needs for data exchange in shared waters, nonetheless, have not been systematically assessed. This paper evaluates data exchange needs in a set of transboundary basins and compares such needs with evidenced levels of data exchange. Our findings indicate that it may be possible to accelerate data exchange by identifying and promoting the exchange of data that respond to palpable need and serve practical use.
