This forum aims to bring together a large community of researchers, decision-makers, managers and users, in order to share scientific advances and recent innovations on the water resources of the Congo basin, and to promote sustainable management initiatives for these vital resources.
Objectives
The second Congo Basin Forum 2025 builds upon the previous initiatives and provides an opportunity for scientific knowledge and experience sharing in a view of assessing our efforts in terms of the availability of new data, scientific advancement and technologies applicable to monitoring water resources in large river basins. It also provides an opportunity to identify gaps in balancing the objectives of conservation and socio-economic well-being within the Congo basin. The conference will also focus on learning and sharing experiences from other research initiatives and experiments in the other major African basins and worldwide.
