Cubango-Okavango River Basin Fund Value Proposition

Anchor was tasked to undertake an economic analysis as a technical input to the CORB Fund Value Proposition, a report which presents the economic value of undertaking interventions through the CORB Fund. This involved creating a portfolio of landscape level environmentally focused interventions as part of a Resilient Development Scenario. A ROI-based targeting approach was used in the placement of interventions across the Basin. The economic analysis assessed all interventions in terms of their estimated impacts and associated costs and benefits relative to the Business-as-Usual Scenario. The Value Proposition demonstrated that modest investments, catalysed by the CORB Fund, in lower-impact, ecological infrastructure, sustainable tourism and rural livelihood development, along with traditional, well-sited, conventional infrastructure would generate significant, equitable impacts and economic benefits across Angola, Namibia and Botswana.
