Described as:
- "Initiative - commission or other group" is not in the list of possible values (Dam, Aqueduct/canal/transmission system, Irrigation, Wastewater Treatment, Drinking Water Treatment, Hydropower, Storage, Desalination Project) for this property.
The desire for regional integration between Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal caused the three countries to establish the Organization for the Development of the Senegal River (OMVS, Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du fleuve Sénégal). One of the most important aspects of this convention is that Guinea did not participate, but it did not object either, which has allowed the process to move forward with less difficulty. The organization created two types of shared infrastructure, physical and institutional, which were designed to accomplish the goals of OMVS:
- The development of food security for the populations of the basin.
- The reduction in the economic vulnerability of OMVS states to external factors such as climate changes.
- The acceleration of the economic development of member states the preservation of ecosystem balance in the sub-region and particularly in the basin.
- Secure and improved revenue of the valley populations.
