Strategic Objective 3.2: To improve livelihoods of the <strong>Delta</strong> stakeholders through improved socio-economic opportunities S.2.1 Cross-cutting issues such as HIV/AIDS, Gender and Poverty need to be mainstreamed into the ODMP process S.2.2 The need to manage channel blockages to sustain communities access to livelihood activities 189 DEA to prepare and implement guidelines for sectors to streamline HIV/AIDS, Gender and Poverty during ODMP implementation DWA to manage small channel blocks primarily for communities access to livelihood activities. Prepare mainstreaming tools Hold stakeholder workshop for sectors on utilisation of the tools Monitor the implementation of the guidelines Undertake EIA on areas of channels blockages Potential impact Mitigation measure Sustainable criteria Improved awareness on crosscutting issues of gender, poverty, HIV and AIDS Programmes initiated could reduce poverty, HIV and AIDS and address gender issues Some sections of the communities might be left out Sustainable management of blockages Restoration of threatened livelihoods Implement economic projects to address issues Implement gender, poverty and HIV and AIDS mainstreaming tools Programmes should aim at providing sustainable livelihoods to affected and infected groups Develop sustainable indicators EIA Act
Strategic Goal 3: To sustainably use the <strong>Delta</strong> resources for improvement of livelihoods of all stakeholders that are directly and indirectly dependent on the ecosystem products and services of the <strong>Okavango</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> (and associated dry lands) in an equitable way. Strategic Objective 3.2: To develop socio-economic opportunities to improve livelihoods of the <strong>Okavango</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> stakeholders ID Key Issues Operational Objectives S.2.3 The human/wildlife DWNP to assess conflicts continue and mitigate the to be a problem human/wildlife and need to be conflicts addressed. S.2.4 The level of citizen participation in the tourism sector needs to be improved. S.2.5 The tourism products need to be diversified from being wildlife based to other areas. 190 DoT to develop and implement strategies to enhance citizen participation in the tourism sector DoT to develop and implement strategies for tourism product Critical Activities Potential impact Mitigation measure Sustainable criteria Identify hotspots for human elephant conflicts Determine and implement mitigation measures Develop the comprehensive framework for monitoring of predators Undertake spoor survey Determine and implement mitigation measures Develop problem animal control policy (National Wildlife Strategy) Conflict and Determine strategies for citizen empowerment in the tourism sector Review CBNRM programme with the view of enhancing citizen participation Implement the citizen empowerment strategies and improved CBNRM programme. Determine strategies for tourism diversification diversification Implement strategies for tourism diversification • Human/elephant conflict phenomena better understood • Loss of livelihood sources through buffering of some areas to separate wildlife and human activities • Problem animal control can upset can upset family structure of animals which is not well understood • PAC could be done at unsustainable levels • Citezens benefit more from utilisation of natural resources • Possible disinvestment from tourism industry by international players who feel threatened • Increased need for training of citizen entrepeneurs • Proliferation of impacts from different activities being implemented in the <strong>Delta</strong> • People might be forced to engage in peripheral activities in the name of diversification • Develop alternative livelihood sources for communities in the <strong>Delta</strong> seriously affected by wildlife incursions • Compensation mechanism need to be developed for any loss of access to natural resources • PAC should only be used as a last resort. Other mechanisms for chasing animals need to be explored • International investors need to be assured of the security of their investment • Responsive programmes for ciotezen entrepeneurs need to be developed and implemented • SEA needs to be undertaken for those programmes and activities identified for implementation followed by project specific EIAs • Techniques such as cost benefit analysis should be used to evaluate potential projects for implementation • Trade-offs to be developed on long-term survial of the <strong>Delta</strong> against sustainable livelihoods of <strong>Delta</strong> communities • Monitoring should have • PAC should be informed by population data on other predators and other wildlife • Citezen empowerment should be guided by transparency and fairness and the need for equitable distribution of resources • Programmes developed should equip entrepeneur with relevant skills that emphasisze sustainable programmes in the <strong>Delta</strong> Projects to be implemented need to be evaluated aginst environmental, technical and financial feasibility and should be critical in addressing gender concerns, HIV and AIDS and reduce poverty
