involved in implementing ODMP components and those not so. Regular briefings have also been provided to various district authorities and officers including the District Commissioner, the Council Secretary, Tribal Administration, District Development Committee, the District CBNRM Forum, the Full District Council and the Tawana Land Board. 1.6.3.3 Framework <strong>Plan</strong> Phase The phase covered the period from December 2004 to November 2005. It entailed further prioritization of issues raised during the inception phase and development of broader management intervention objectives. This was achieved through three major focussed workshops targeting different tiers and community consultations. Community engagement A workshop for the community leaders (Chiefs/headmen, VDC, CBOs, ODMP Contact Persons) was held in Shakawe in February 2005 and its proceedings were documented. The workshop led to an agreement on priority issues which require management intervention (ODMP – Shakawe Community Leaders Workshop, 2005). A series of kgotla meetings were thereafter held in 43 villages. Community Contact Persons Officers workshops were held in October 2005 (ODMP – Community Contact Persons Workshop Proceedings, 2005). Technical engagement Another technical planning workshop was held in August 2005 with the ODMP project components institutions during which issues from the various stakeholders were discussed, prioritized and the approach in dealing with them was agreed upon (ODMP – Technical Backstopping Mission Report, 2005). This workshop resulted in the development of prioritisation criteria, strategic goals; and operational objectives for issues which were prioritised as requiring management interventions. District authorities Subsequent to the technical workshop, several workshops were held to discuss and get feedback on the priority areas as well as the broad management objectives. Two workshops were held for the North West District Councillors and Tawana Land Board in November and December 2005. The outcomes of the councillors’ workshop are contained in ODMP – North West District Councillors Workshop Proceedings (2005). The Framework <strong>Plan</strong> was presented to the Members of Parliament whose constituencies fall within the <strong>Ramsar</strong> Site in November 2005. The Framework <strong>Plan</strong> phase culminated with a multi-stakeholder workshop in December 2005 where the plan was presented and discussed (ODMP – Framework <strong>Plan</strong> Workshop Proceedings, 2005). 1.6.3.4 Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Phase The phase covered the period from December 2005 to July 2006. It focussed on the development of operational objectives, the action plan as well as the monitoring and evaluation tool. The participatory process leading to the preparation of the Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> was largely anchored on one-on-one meetings with all the ODMP component institutions. The results of these meetings are reflected in what is contained in the action plan (<strong>Okavango</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, 2006). This also culminated with a multi-stakeholder workshop in September, 2006 (ODMP – Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Workshop Proceedings, 2006). 9
1.6.3.5 Final <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Phase Subsequent to the production of the Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> document, a series of kgotla meetings covering the whole of the <strong>Ramsar</strong> site were held as well as stakeholder-targeted workshops and one-on-one meetings with the component institutions to present and get feedback on the contents of the Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. A total of 43 kgotla meetings were held in the <strong>Ramsar</strong> site between September and October 2006, Community Leaders and Private Sector Workshops were conducted in August 2006, the Tawana Land Board Workshop in September 2006, Presentation of the Draft <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> to the Parliament Select Committee on Agriculture and Environment and a special meeting of the North West District Council in October 2006. The Final <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> was subjected to a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with the provisions of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act of 2005. 10
