The workshop was held from 09 to 10 November 2011 at the Protea ‘The Ranch’ Hotel in Polokwane, South Africa. The workshop was the 3rd Stage of Phase 1 of the LIMCOM Roadmap process (Phase 2 will lead to Strategy development). The workshop was preceded by an Inception Phase (1st Stage of Phase 1) and a National Stakeholder Participation Appraisal Phase (2nd Stage Phase 1). Objectives of the workshop were to present key findings from national-level Stakeholder Participation Appraisals (SPAs); identify and discuss key issues and institutional mechanisms for up-scaling existing stakeholder participation in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) from national to transboundary level; and develop a draft methodology and process for the next stage of the Roadmap development process. The Regional Coordinator and National Facilitators provided technical input and facilitated the workshop, while outputs were largely derived from contributions to group work and plenary discussions by stakeholders who participated in the workshop. The workshop drew twenty (20) participants from Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe, representing stakeholders from government, water authorities and the LIMCOM secretariat (see List of Participants on Page 8 of this Report). Representatives of the Progressive Realization of the Incomati Maputo Agreement (PRIMA) and the Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM) representatives were also invited but could not attend due to an overlap of work plans. The workshop was supported by International Cooperation Partners, namely the German Government (BMZ) through InWEnt and GTZ in delegated cooperation with UK Aid and the Australian Government Aid Program. InWEnt has supported the LIMCOM Secretariat since 2006, thereby drawing from its work in the fields of "stakeholder participation in river basins" in the SADC region, particularly the Orange-Senqu and Ruvuma River Basins. Documentation of this report follows the sequence of events during the workshop as shown in the Agenda (Page 7 of this Report).
