The OKACOM Communication  and Stakeholder Strategy and Implementation Plan  explores pathways in which OKACOM will leverage its brand to enhance its reputation, increase brand visibility, raise awareness of its activities, and communicate with both internal and external stakeholders. The Communication Strategy is premised on the OKACOM Agreement, whose main objective is to promote cooperation among the three riparian states of Angola, Botswana and Namibia, on issues pertaining to conservation, development and the utilisation of water resources of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin (CORB), as well as on the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) which aims to provide guidance on how OKACOM riparian states could approach the development and management of the shared water resources derived from the CORB.

The Strategic Action Programme (SAP) is a basin-wide policy framework document for the Cubango-Okavango River Basin (CORB) that lays down the principles for the development of the basin and improvements of the livelihoods of its people through the cooperative management of the basin and its shared natural resources. This brochure offers a summary of the main document with key points on the objectives of the SAP.

The Improving Conservation and Sustainable Use of Shared Fish Resources through Co-Management Demonstration Project  aims to facilitate the establishment of community-based Fisheries Protected Areas (FPA) in the Joseph Mbambangandu Conservancy, located in Kavango-East region in Namibia with the support of United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, funding from GEF and working with the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources and Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF). By July 2020, eight community-based fish guards and fish monitors, were recruited, trained and equipped to effectively work with the community, government fisheries officials and NNF in implementing sustainable fish practices. Here are some insights from the men and women involved in facilitating community-based sustainable fishing  practices within their communities.
