EPSMO Interim Evaluation
This is the Interim Evaluation Report for the GEF/UNDP/FAO Environmental Protection and Sustainable Management of the Okavango River Basin Project (EPSMO) which started in November 2004 after many delays. The EPSMO followed a Preparatory Phase which ran from 1997 to 2000 in response to an approach to GEF by the Governments of Angola, Namibia and Botswana, through their Permanent Okavango River Basin Commission (OKACOM). EPSMO will undertake a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), and formulate a Strategic Action Programme (SAP), setting the stage for long term investment activities to protect the ecological integrity of the Basin. This will address the critical transboundary elements of the Environmental Assessment and Integrated Management Plan originally proposed by OKACOM,
