PROJECT FEATURED IN:

Okavango Basin Multi-Sector Investment Opportunity Studies

The project aims to identify and prepare investment programs in the Okavango River Basin, which is shared by Angola, Namibia and Botswana. It is part of a systematic strategy by the Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM) to assist the Member States in achieving socially just, economically prosperous, and environmentally healthy development of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin. This is part of an effort to define a Sustainable and Equitable Climate Resilient Investment Program among the Member States to address development challenges.

DESCRIPTION

The C-O MISOA was initiated in late 2014 with support from the World Bank-managed multi-donor transboundary river basin development facility, the Cooperation in International Waters in Africa (CIWA). CIWA facilitated a consultative approach to develop the tools needed to identify sustainable regional investment opportunities in the Cubango-Okavango basin, an area of global environmental significance threatened by deep, persistent poverty within the three strong middle-income member countries; Angola, Namibia and Botswana.
