The second biggest lake in the world

Burundi, Congo, Tanzania, Zambia

Poverty, conflict, refugees and rapid urbanization were some of the problems affecting Central Africa’s Lake Tanganyika. WANI convened stakeholder meetings that led to a convention among the four countries bordering the lake. The convention formed a basin authority with a workplan to reduce poverty and promote sustainable management of the lake.
