The research attempts to shed light on the Renaissance Dam project and the development projects associated with it. And to know the size and form of internal and external support and funding in the construction of the Renaissance Dam and its impact on Egyptian water and national security. It also tracks the position of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries on the stages of building the dam and its impact on the form and nature of the Gulf-Egyptian-Sudanese relations on the one hand and the Gulf-Ethiopian relations on the other hand.
