- ENTRO is a competent, credible and prestigious organization for the cooperative sustainable development of the Eastern Nile. ENTRO is an open-minded organization, receptive to new ideas and willing to develop and change. It has a highly motivated and experienced staff, working in productive teams inside ENTRO and with all ENSAP organs in the Eastern Nile countries and partners elsewhere. Funds and expertise are available to further the cooperation to new levels.
- ENTRO has achieved substantial action on the ground and has seen inaugural ribbons of joint multi-purpose projects cut. A series of new projects have been prepared and are being implemented, not only realizing the benefits from the river but also to and beyond the river. ENTRO is successfully furthering and augmenting the drive towards free flow of goods, services and people between the countries. There are no boundaries between the Eastern Nile countries in the minds of their peoples. Instead, one river system brings the people together to share the benefits of cooperation. Public and private, foreign and local investments are flowing into the region. Substantial part of the Eastern Nile Operational Vision 2020 has been achieved.
