Objective
The State of the Environment Zambezi Basin (SOE Zambezi) project aims at raising awareness about the state of the environment in the Zambezi river basin. The objective of the SOE Zambezi project is to

Increase the availability of environmental information, and provide a well-functioning distribution channel, for the promotion of sustainable natural resource management in the Zambezi basin among decision-makers and policy makers at national, regional and sectoral levels, legislators, media, environmental organisations, schools, universities and other educational institutions, and the public at large.

The Project

SOE Zambezi promotes and strengthens community participation in the sustainable management of resources in the Zambezi river basin. The project highlights the ecological and economic importance of the Zambezi river in southern Africa through the production of various information materials.

The project also identifies and communicates potential areas of conflict in terms of water use and its management and pays attention to gender, particularly women's role as natural resource managers and seeks to involve as many people as possible in the debate on the environmental problems of the Zambezi basin so that proposals for the sustainable management of the basin's resources can be formulated.

Information is a key strategic resource for socio-economic development.
