Abstract The Nile River Basin, a critical transboundary water resource for Nile riparian countries, presents a complex landscape of water allocation, usage, and infrastructure development that has historically fueled tensions and impacted regional security in the Horn of Africa. This study investigates the influence of collaboration and cooperation among Nile Basin countries in managing shared water resources on security dynamics in the Horn of Africa. Employing both primary data (via questionnaires and interviews) and secondary data (from online and print sources), the findings underscore the significance of effective collaboration and cooperation in promoting sustainable water management practices and addressing shared challenges. Diplomatic dialogues, joint planning, and cooperative agreements are essential for fostering mutual understanding and trust, thereby mitigating conflict risks over water allocation and usage. These collaborative efforts contribute to resilient water governance frameworks that prioritize equitable distribution and sustainable utilization of water resources, enhancing regional security by addressing interconnected issues such as food security, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability. Effective collaboration can bolster agricultural productivity, improve food security, and promote socio-economic development, reducing vulnerabilities that could escalate into conflicts. Additionally, strengthened diplomatic relations through multilateral platforms and negotiations foster peaceful coexistence and conflict resolution mechanisms, building a stable environment for regional peace and security. Drawing on existing literature and empirical findings, the research identifies gaps in understanding the socio-economic implications, role of regional actors, integration of traditional knowledge, environmental sustainability, and intersectionality with broader security challenges. Findings indicate a high level of agreement on the positive impact of enhanced cooperation on regional security. Recommendations include prioritizing inclusive approaches, strengthening institutional frameworks, integrating climate change adaptation, promoting non-state actors' involvement, mainstreaming socio-economic considerations, and fostering regional dialogue. These recommendations aim to enhance collaborative water governance and contribute to regional stability, prosperity, and resilience in the Horn of Africa.
