  • Evaluate, at the level of riparian Countries, the process of control, monitoring and enforcement practices and systems to achieve sustainable use of water resources in the LCB., and
  •  Verify whether LCBC fulfils its roles and responsibilities especially in terms of assessing and monitoring States’ performances in the implementation of measures designed to control the Lake Chad basin water resources
