Resilience in the Limpopo River Basin (RESILIM) Program: Final Report

Summary

From June 2012 to December 2017, the USAID-funded Resilience in the Limpopo Basin Program (RESILIM) contributed to significant advances in water management, biodiversity, and climate change adaptation across an area of Southern Africa as large as Sweden that is home to 18 million people. Through strategic interventions that helped build evidence for decisionmaking, strengthened institutions, raised key influencer and public awareness, and demonstrated scalable projects, RESILIM catalyzed progress on governance, policy, science, and community resilience, achieving measurable gains that will continue long after the program closes.

The goal of RESILIM, a five-year contract funded and administered by USAID/Southern Africa, was to improve transboundary management of the Limpopo River Basin and enhance the resilience of its people and ecosystems. The program was geared toward collaboration with the Limpopo Watercourse Commission (LIMCOM) with the support of the four Basin governments: Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
