Environmental Protection and Sustainable Management of the Okavango River Basin
The Okavango River Basin remains one of the least impacted basins in the African Continent. Mounting socio-economic pressures in the riparian countries could result in irretrievable environmental breakdown and consequent loss of domestic and global environmental benefits. Maintaining these benefits requires agreement over the sharing of both the benefits and associated liabilities through joint management of the basin's water resources. The establishment of the Permanent Okavango River Commission (OKACOM), an advisory body, was a first step in this direction.
