PIMS 9643 Sustaining Ecosystem Restoration in Angola’s Extended Central Plateau

About this project

The proposed project will apply integrated landscape-based approach for socio-economic and environmental benefits in the headwaters of Angolas central plateau, source of 5 main river basins (the Zambezi, the Kwanza, the Cuando, the Cubango / Okavango, and the Zaire) and restoration of 5 wetlands connected to these basins. The project will focus on planning smart development in the headwaters and leverage on innovative financing models and instruments (such as the PES / CORB Fund) to build resilient livelihoods to local communities while protecting and restoring the ecological integrity of headwaters ecosystem. Angola recognizes the significance of the central plateau headwaters at national and regional levels. The child project will focus into strengthening land use planning and implementation, active ecosystem restoration and promotion cross-sectoral coordination looking at securing muti-stakeholders’ interests. The headwaters of the Central Plateau are home to diverse type of river systems, from pristine systems (e.g. Okavango Basin) to basins facing increasingly demand as a result of ongoing developments in these river systems (e.g. Zambezi, Cuanza).
