The United States Agency for International Development in Southern Africa (USAID/Southern Africa) is seeking applications for the implementation of a five-year programme to improve trans-boundary management of the Limpopo River Basin resulting in enhanced resiliency of people and ecosystems.
Climate change is projected to have profound impacts on Southern Africa. The Resilience in the Limpopo River Basin (RESILIM) programme will support equitable access to water that balances urban and rural needs with ecosystem requirements under changing climate scenarios. This proposed programme will involve work with governments of the four riparian states (South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana and Zimbabwe), their associated ministries and agencies and various stakeholders from local, regional and international organisations.
All programme activities will be implemented through two integrated mechanisms: a Contract, which will focus at the regional level and a Cooperative Agreement, which will focus on the subcatchment level.
