1. The Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM) has received grant financing from Swedfund International AB (the Development Financial Institution of the Kingdom of Sweden), under the agreement “ZAMCOM - Sweden Collaboration for the Zambezi Watercourse Infrastructure Development Study”. ZAMCOM intends to apply this grant to payments under a contract for Consultancy Services for conducting studies on prioritization of medium-sized water infrastructure projects and developing pre-feasibility studies for selected infrastructure projects in the Zambezi Watercourse.
 
2. The Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM) is an intergovernmental organization set up by eight riparian states that share the Zambezi Watercourse through the ZAMCOM Agreement. The riparian states are: Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. On behalf of the riparian states, the Council of Ministers of ZAMCOM endorsed the 2019 Strategic Plan for the Zambezi Watercourse (ZSP) on February 28, 2019. As one of four pillars, the ZSP outlines priority opportunities in the ZSP Infrastructure Investment Programme.
 
3. The ZSP Infrastructure Investment Programme generated an inventory of prioritized infrastructures of transboundary relevance in four areas: hydropower, agricultural water, water supply services, and catchment and natural asset management. ZAMCOM is mandated to support riparian states in advancing preparation and implementation of the infrastructure projects identified in the ZSP, of various scales and at different stages of bankability and investment readiness.
 
4. To support ZAMCOM’s efforts to select and advance the feasibility and investment readiness of medium-sized water infrastructure and storage projects in the Zambezi Watercourse, Swedfund is providing a grant through the Swedfund Project Accelerator intending to expedite the implementation of systems and solutions for sustainable infrastructure projects that contribute to the achievement of Agenda 2030.

The project's objective is to take high-priority, medium-sized water infrastructure and storage projects in the Zambezi Watercourse, more substantially towards achieving bankability and project implementation through a qualitative screening and selection process, and prefeasibility studies..................
