From Introduction: "A delegation of 14 East African high-level officials visited the Baltic Sea region between May 31st and June 5th 1999 on invitation by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida. The purpose of the visit was to look into the experiences from the Baltic Sea cooperation and evaluate the relevance of these to Lake Victoria. For this purpose the Delegation met with selected institutions, organizations and networks (intergovernmental as well as non-governmental) in the Baltic Sea region. The list of participants and the program for the visit are found in Annexes 1 and 2, respectively. The visit included, a tour covering the four countries Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Latvia, and a two-day seminar in Kalmar for discussions and summing up. The delegation visited or met with representatives from 20 institutions and organizations active in various sectors in the Baltic Sea Region. During the seminar in Kalmar the delegation made a first assessment of the applicability of Baltic Sea experiences for the Lake Victoria Region. The visit was organized and carried out by the Stockholm International Water Institute, SIWI, of behalf of Sida."
