ECONOMIC CONSULTING ASSOCIATES

Building on past studies for the basin organisation OKACOM, the MSIOA study sought to determine a development pathway to meet the national development needs and poverty reduction objectives of the member states (Angola, Namibia and Botswana), without compromising the ecosystem services of the basin and diminishing the global value of the Okavango Delta. The study involved developing integrated economic, hydrological and environmental modelling and working with stakeholders to strengthen regional cooperation in the basin.
