Environmental Protection and Sustainable Management of the Okavango River Basin (EPSMO)

The project will provide support for the completion of a Trans-boundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), and formulate a Strategic Action programme (SAP) for the Okavango River basin. This project sets the stage for long term investment activities to protect the ecological integrity of the basin. Specifically, the TDA will develop required physical and socio-economic models across the entire basin to facilitate joint management based on wide participation and the removal of institutional barriers. The SAP will structure diverse inputs and identify specific resources necessary for the implementation of an Integrated Management Plan. A follow-on project will support implementation of the SAP. The SAP will provide an essential monitoring and evaluation tool for the implementation phase.
