OKACOM Community Consultations a Success

To guide OKACOM on where to focus support for building  resilience of rural livelihoods within the Basin, a series of community consultations were held with the support of partners who have a similar interest supporting livelihood resilience including the EU-funded programme, USAID Resilient Waters Programme (RWP), The Nature Conservancy, UKAid Climate Resilient Infrastructure Development Facility (CRIDF), International Union for Conservation of Nature, World Wildlife Fund and the UNDP-Global Environment Facility. These engagements took place in September and October of 2019 and brought together local NGOs, Community based organisations, traditional leaders, representatives of ministries, and took place in Menogue, Maun and Rundu, in the three member states of Angola, Botswana and Namibia respectively.
