The OMVS and the Senegal River Basin
Located in the western part of Africa
With a surface area of some
300,000 Km, the River flows across
four countries: Guinea, Mali,
Mauritania and Senegal
Drained by a river, 1,800 kms long
Organization for Development of
Senegal River Basin (OMVS) is,
under a number of aspects,
considered as an example ofsuccess story
OMVS is built around a
transboundary basin, the Senegal
River which is listed among the 17
river basins in West Africa

Legal and Institutional Foundations of Senegal River
March 11, 1972: foundation of OMVS.
The OMVS legal and institutional framework is based on 6 internationalconventions:
March 11, 1972: Status of the Senegal river;
Mars 11,1972: Establishment of OMVS + its operating system and institutionalframework;
December 21, 1978: Status of Jointly Owned Structures;
May 12, 1982: Definition of the financing modalities for JOS;
March 28, 2002: Charter of Waters;
March 13, 2006: International code of navigation and transport + Treaty ofGuineas accession to the OMVS.

Importance of Basin CooperationThe OMVS operates to organize relationships within our
community of interests and rights Dissemination and sharing of information on water
resources: this is the key for shared or joint concertedand transparent governance;
We have today a concrete jointly owned patrimony orheritage that consists of a structuring regionalinfrastructure that is managed in a concerted andequitable way thanks to a decision making tool, namely the Cost and Charges Allocation Key
We have also established organs for consensualdecisions and arbitrations as well as Advisory andRegulation structures.
The Islamic Development Bank helps financing OMVS
projects and programs which I'll talk later.

5 generators of 40 MW each;
Installed capacity of 200 MW;
Producible capacity of 800 GWh / yr,
guaranteed for 9 years out of 10;
1,700 km, 225-kV transmission line
connecting Senegal, Mali and
Mauritania
Allocation of the energy generated:
Mali: 52%; Senegal: 33%; Mauritania: 15%

Conclusions and lessons learned Why the OMVS MCs had chosen to invest in the
promotion and development of hydro-power energy?
Because
Cost effective and clean hydro based generation that replaces
high cost and pollutant thermal generation (more than 80%) Low risk of accidents at operating facilities
Access to low-cost energy allows to boost other sectors of
production and contributes to poverty reduction of the population
(improvement of livelihoods) A multi-purpose structure, which optimizes investments (for
instance the creation of 2 reservoirs to make water available to
the turbines - one reservoir is also used for agriculture, fisheries,
potable water, navigation, etc.) purposes.

Conclusions and lessons learned (contd 1):Main Constraints
Difficulty in mobilizing subsequent funds (the requiredamounts are usually higher compared to the weak economies of developing
countries);
Difficulty in identifying and assessing all the
environmental and social impacts ;
Difficulty in implementing effective measures to mitigate
negative impacts ;
Different priorities / interests of the participating states
Equitable allocation of benefits among all stakeholders
(upstream & downstream; all sectors of activities, etc.)
