FileOkavango River Basin Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis(TDA). 1998. (1.0 Mb)
OKACOM is an initiative of the three Okavango River Basin states, Angola, Botswana and Namibia. The Commission has the functions of advising the respective governments on the sustainable development of the basin and of co-ordinating investigation and research activities. A Preparatory Assistance Project funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) is nearing completion and has had the aim of providing support for the implementation of a basin-wide Environmental Assessment, and the development of an Integrated Basin Management Plan. The aims of the preparatory project include the execution of a Diagnostic Study of the Okavango River Basin in all three countries, in order that an outline Strategic Action Programme and detailed GEF funding proposal can be drawn up. In order to carry out the diagnostic study the inputs of a number of specialists were required in all three countries and their inputs have contributed in a major way to the compilation of this document, the “Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA)”. This TDA has been divided in to two sections, Section A which describes the data available and an overview of the subject and Section B which attempts to highlight data deficiencies and to outline work that is required in the proposed Environmental Assessment.

FileOkavango River Basin Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis(TDA). 2009
The transboudary diagnostic assessment (TDA) for the Delta part of the Okavango River Basin (ORB) was based on the extensive research and planning outputs of the ODMP process which was completed in 2006. For this reason the TDA process adopted all the ODMP stakeholder participation processes including decisions made regarding methodology, context and spatial extent of the planning area. This paper describes the ODMP stakeholder process as a proxy for the TDA consultation process. It is important to note that during the TDA process consultation was extended with two stakeholder workshops and briefing meetings for the Okavango Wetland management Committee (OWMC) dedicated specifically towards creating awareness and seeking stakeholder participation in the TDA process.

The TDA is an important step towards elaboration of the SAP that will consitute the technical foundation for the signing of important agreements among the three capital Member States of the Cubango-Okavango River Basin. These agreements will allow OKACOM to have successful examples of participatory management of this important river basin and be assured that the countries who depend on its resources receive the best return on investment made in a sustainable and equitable manner.
