Stakeholders across Africa are recognising the scale and severity of transboundary risks to water. Such risks are two-fold in nature, arising both from potential impacts due to climate change and from responses to climate change . This awareness among stakeholders is leading to increasingly progressive approaches to natural resource development that can also reduce risk across boundaries within regions. For example, river basin organisations in Southern Africa such as the Orange-Senqu and the Okavango River Basin Commissions are revising treaties considered to pre-date the interrelated issues of climate change, growing populations and water scarcity . In parts of west Africa, where climate change is characterised by reduction of precipitation , regionally integrated and climate-resilient economic investments for water resource development are enabled by the Senegal River Basin Organisation  which emphasises programme and project development, financing and implementation in ensuing work plans , as does the Nile Basin Initiative  in north and east Africa .
