The process that led to the formation of the Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZamCom) has had major impact on southern Africa’s perspective of transboundary issues. It propelled these issues to the top of the political agenda in SADC.
WATER, ENERGY and Food Security are closely interlinked and river basin organisations have an important role in facilitating an integrated approach to water resources management that supports development in the other sectors.
Participation in decision-making in the management of the Zambezi river basin is set to include all the eight riparian states following the launch of phase two of a SADC Water Sector Coordinating Unit programme. The programme seeks to set up a water resources information system that will provide information on activities on the basin.
Faced with a crippling shortage of electricity, Zambezi basin riparian states are making efforts to increase power generation and distribution, and prevent total darkness.
THE LONG-AWAITED policy organ of the Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM), the Council of Ministers, was constituted this year, thus completing all levels of the structure and enabling the full operations of the permanent commission in 2014.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) recently made history when three of its members, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe launched one of the world’s biggest game parks, the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP).
