Kwando River Basin Report Card Stakeholder Workshop Summary

This newsletter summarizes outputs from the initial stakeholder workshop to develop the Kwando River Basin Report Card. The workshop took place from 9–11 March in Kasane, Botswana. More than 35 diverse stakeholders from 19 institutions came together at this workshop to conceptualize the river basin, create a shared vision, and discuss indicators for the Kwando River Basin Report Card. The report card aims to strengthen transboundary water governance and inclusive decision-making mechanisms across the four countries (implementing states) that the basin traverses: Angola, Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia.
