About Zambezi River Indaba & Expo
Zambezi River Indaba & Expo is the first of its kind in Africa focusing on harnessing both the commercial and social value of the river. It has been developed against the backdrop of having identified the gaps in the previously held sector-specific and cross-cutting sectoral Indabas or Expos at national, regional, and continental levels. Therefore, the Zambezi River Indaba & Expo is so unique due to the following aspects:
Sharing Knowledge
To share knowledge, technology and best practices on how to conserve the Zambezi River and its ecosystem;
Identify Challenges
To identify and address challenges affecting management and governance systems of transboundary water shared resource;
Showcase
