The IWRM&I Plan should be forward looking (10 years in scope) and provide a framework that enables the basin to realise environmental, economic and social benefits associated with better transboundary water resources management, while taking considering needs for increased investments and climate change action in the basin. The objective of the 2015-2024 IWRM Plan was set as "to provide a framework for sustainable development and management of the water resources, taking into account the need for improved distribution and equitable allocation of benefits, in order to contribute towards socio-economic upliftment of communities within the basin, and ensure future water security for the basin States." In addition, the IWRM&I Plan should strive to link the water sector with national environmental sustainability, economic growth and poverty alleviation strategies based on the fact that IWRM is not an end in itself but rather a means to achieve economic and social development.
