Awareness and Communication Strategy g) The Steering Committees for cluster of projects such as Groundwater, Capacity Building, Hydrology, Water Supply and Sanitation, Water Quality and lately, Water Infrastructure; The River Basin Organisations (RBOs) comprising the River Basin Commissions, and River Basin Authorities, play a pivotal role in the development and management of water resources in shared watercourses. At national level, there are SADC National Committees/National Contact Points that facilitate and coordinate SADC activities and ensure that SADC information is accessed by all citizens. It is equally important that dissemination and communication of the national institutional arrangements, roles, responsibilities and operational arrangements are constantly and routinely done to stakeholders. All the above structures are serviced by a full time institution, the SADC Secretariat based in Gaborone, Botswana while the RBOs have their own respective institutions. The SADC Water Programme is managed by the Water Division which is one of the divisions or units within the SADC Secretariat’s Directorate of Infrastructure and Services. An illustration of the above institutions and more information on what they specifically do is available in the Implementation Toolkit for this Strategy. 3.2.2 Policy and Legal Instruments for Cooperation Communicate that SADC has developed and is implementing key policy and legal instruments for regional cooperation and integration in water resources management. To who: Policy makers, River Basin Commissions, all relevant sectors’ role players, the private sector and NGOs, the media, and the general public.
