Policy Brief Zambezi River

Key Policy Messages

  • The integration of key legal and policy frameworks including international water law principles, the WEF Nexus and the Sustainable Development Goals could streamline existing efforts and further implementation.
  • Benefit-sharing which extends beyond the energy sector could enhance regional integration and improve sustainable development within the basin.
  • Harmonisation of laws, policies and commitments at national level could bring more benefits to all basin countries and enhance the exemplary ZRB governance structures within the basin
  • Basin States which have not ratified the SADC Protocol and ZAMCOM agreement should be encouraged to do so, reaffirming commitment to water governance and improving uniformity across the basin.
