Reflecting On Overlapping Governance Of Multi-Functional Landscapes:
The Cases of Limpopo River Basin, Great Limpopo TFCA and Others
25 April 23, 11h00-12h30
Register here.
Cross-sectoral institutional coordination and cooperation are important for effective resilience building and the pursuit of water security for communities and ecosystems across Southern Africa. One key lesson emerging from Resilient Waters interventions is that most pieces of land are subject to multi-faceted/multi-layered governance and management regimes, which makes for overlapping mandates by various authorities. Most times this results in inefficient resource allocation and conflicting policies and practices, specifically in the context of managing transboundary natural resource landscapes.
Join Resilient Waters and some of its transboundary partner organisations: The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Areas (GLTFCA), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the Limpopo Watercourse Commission (LIMCOM) and the Global Water Partnership Southern Africa (GWPSA) to reflect on lessons learned in the governance and management of multi-functional landscapes such as River Basins, Groundwater Systems, and Conservation Areas. This webinar will allow stakeholders from transboundary, national, regional, and local institutions to engage on land management issues related to multi-layered governance systems, along with the associated policy and legal instruments that exist for managing complex landscapes.
