Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan is seeking membership in the Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC), an institution of the East African Community (EAC), according to the deputy information minister Jacob Mijok Korok.<\/p>\n

The move comes as South Sudan seeks to tap into water management expertise and project funding offered by the LVBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation presented a memo on the two regional meetings in Kenya and Burundi which aimed at joining the Lake Victoria Basin Commission,\u201d Korok said following a cabinet meeting on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudan consented to the Lake Victoria Basin Commission as it is ratified by the EAC protocol to consider South Sudan and DRC in current and future projects,\u201d Korok added.<\/p>\n

The Lake Victoria Basin Commission Bill, 2019, would pave the way for South Sudan\u2019s participation in various projects within the basin.<\/p>\n

Membership would also grant South Sudan access to economic and environmental benefits associated with the shared resource.<\/p>\n

Currently, only the five EAC partner states bordering the lake \u2013 Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, and Rwanda \u2013 are members of the commission established in 2003.<\/p>\n

Like these countries, South Sudan is geographically located within the Lake Victoria Basin.<\/p>\n
