The meeting gathered delegates from member countries including Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Egypt, Sudan and Somalia.
Attended by more than 40 delegates, the meeting was convened to discuss the bi-annual activity and financial progress reports (2012-2013) and also provide strategic guidance on matters arising from the GWP Eastern Africa's long journey, ten years back, when GWP was established in the Region (2003-2013). The meeting discussed both operational and governance matters.
One of the results of the meeting was an approval of Somalia Country Water Partnership to join the GWP Eastern Africa family. The meeting also facilitated the official handover between the incoming RCP Chair from Burundi Water Partnership, Eng Nkuikiye Anicet, and the outgoing Chair, Eng Mugisha Shillingi from Uganda.
