Transboundary River Basin Organizations (TRBOs)

Transboundary River Basin Organizations (TRBOs) are cooperative institutions created by countries sharing a river basin that crosses national borders. They manage and coordinate the use, conservation, and protection of shared water resources to ensure sustainable and equitable use for all parties. These organizations facilitate dialogue, develop joint policies, and handle disputes, helping countries work together to address challenges such as pollution, water scarcity, and ecosystem health. TRBOs play a vital role in fostering peaceful cooperation, ensuring the river’s health, and balancing economic and environmental needs across borders.
