  set of indicators that will be tested within 5 African transboundary pilot
  Basins have been released.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;&quot; lang=&quot;EN-GB&quot;&gt;In the
  context of this project, the decision was made to use two different sets of
  existing performance indicators, with different focus on how to evaluate
  IWRM, as the basis for developing IWRM performance indicators for African
  transboundary basins. The first one aims at describing the process of river
  Basin Management as refering to the RBOs functions.&lt;br /&gt;
   The second set of indicators is targeting Information related to the
  development of the physical and social on-the-ground situation, so-called
  &quot;technical&quot; indicators. They are grouped around four problems: the risk of
  excessive exploitation of water resources, of deterioration of water
  resources, of deterioration of living conditions, and of deterioration of
  the environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></dc:description><dc:contributor>ypochon</dc:contributor><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:coverage>Africa</dc:coverage><dc:subject>Indicators</dc:subject><dc:subject>RBO</dc:subject><dc:rights></dc:rights><dc:type>Text</dc:type><dc:format>text/html</dc:format><dc:source>y.pochon@oieau.fr</dc:source><dc:creator>YP</dc:creator><dc:publisher></dc:publisher><dc:relation></dc:relation><ut:keywords>Indicators</ut:keywords><ut:keywords> RBO</ut:keywords><ut:creator_mail>y.pochon@oieau.fr</ut:creator_mail><ut:contact_name></ut:contact_name><ut:contact_mail></ut:contact_mail><ut:contact_phone></ut:contact_phone><ut:news_type>Inbrief</ut:news_type><ut:file_link>http://</ut:file_link><ut:file_link_local></ut:file_link_local><ut:source_link>http://</ut:source_link><ut:start_date>2008-04-10T00:00:00Z</ut:start_date><ut:save_date>2008-04-10T09:09:46Z</ut:save_date></item><item rdf:about="http://www.aquacoope.org/PITB/documents/news/snews045004"><link>http://www.aquacoope.org/PITB/documents/news/snews045004</link><dc:title>Project start-up meeting</dc:title><dc:identifier>http://www.aquacoope.org/PITB/documents/news/snews045004</dc:identifier><dc:date>2007-11-26T00:00:00Z</dc:date><dc:description><![CDATA[The launching meeting was held from November 13 to 16 in Ouagadougou, all
