Transboundary Environmental Issues Affecting Biodiversity in Selected Shared Freshwater Ecosystems: Towards Formulating Harmonized Regional Strategy for Conservation of Aquatic Biodiversity and Joint Action Plans

The study involved a general overview of transboundary freshwater bodies in Africa to identify critical aquatic environmental issues affecting biodiversity. This was achieved through literature search and stakeholder engagements. Stakeholders engaged include Regional Economic Communities (RECs), Regional Basin Organisations (RBOs), Regional Fisheries Bodies (RFBs), Biodiversity and Freshwater Basin Organizations. While consultations were by online/email survey, face to face interviews with key persons representing the Volta Sub-basin in Ghana.
