Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan agreed to join the Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) following the ratification of the East African Community (EAC) protocol.<\/p>\n

According to the Deputy Minister for Information, Jacob Korok, the decision came after a series of regional meetings held in Kenya and Burundi, whose outcomes were presented before the cabinet on Friday to the Council of Ministers by Pal Mai, the Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.<\/p>\n

Korok said the meeting focused on the admission of South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the LVBC, intending to achieve regional integration and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inclusion of these countries in the Commission aims to foster collaborative efforts in water management, environmental conservation, and regional development,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The ratification of the EAC protocol is a pivotal step for South Sudan since Lake Victoria Basin is one of Africa\u2019s most vital hydrological regions, serving as a critical resource for water supply, agriculture, and economic activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy joining the LVBC, South Sudan will benefit from shared water management information, access to funding for water-related projects, and enhanced cooperation with neighbouring countries,\u201d Korok said.<\/p>\n

Participation in the LVBC is expected to significantly boost South Sudan\u2019s efforts in managing its water resources more effectively.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThis is crucial for the country, which faces numerous challenges related to water scarcity, flooding, and the need for sustainable agricultural practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shared knowledge and resources from the LVBC will support South Sudan in addressing these issues and promoting sustainable development,\u201d he added<\/p>\n

The dual focus on joining the LVBC and enhancing flood preparedness reflects South Sudan\u2019s commitment to regional cooperation and the well-being of its citizens. These efforts are integral to the country\u2019s broader strategy for sustainable development and disaster resilience.<\/p>\n
