| Zambezi Has Its People The Kalahari Conservation Society plans to implement the
project, Zambezi Has Its People (ZHIP), along the lines of the
Every River Has Its People project.
The project is intended to facilitate broader community participation
and promote sustainable management of natural resources in
the Zambezi River Basin for the benefit of basin residents and states.
The Every River Has Its People project aims to promote the sustainable
management of the natural resources of the Okavango River
Basin shared by Angola, Botswana and Namibia, for the benefit of
basin residents and states, through promoting and facilitating the
effective participation of basin stakeholders in natural resource
decision-making and management.
A workshop aimed to share information regarding preparatory
work carried out so far was held recently in Kasane, Botswana.
The planned project is a response to issues arising from stakeholder
conferences under the Zambezi Action Plan Project 6 Phase II
(ZACPRO 6.2) Project.
Increased stakeholder participation in the development and management
of the water resources of the Zambezi river basin at all
levels is one of ZACPRO 6.2's objectives.
The planning phase of the proposed project was supported by the
Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
