The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $2.1 million in the Resilience in the Limpopo River Basin (RESILIM) initiative. Climate change will have profound impacts on the availability of water for the 14 million people living in the Limpopo River Basin, which covers parts of Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. This initiative will support the adoption of science-based adaptation strategies to reduce climate vulnerability and improve management of water resources across the basin. USAID will improve policies; build stakeholders' skills; and test innovative practices for improved water allocation, ecosystem conservation, and application of the best available climate science and management information. RESILIM will strengthen governance to address climate-related risks and improve science and analysis for decision-making.
