The objective of NETCAB is to enhance the capacity of southern Africa's government institutions and NGOs to address environmental policy and management issues relevant to increasing natural resource productivity through coordinated regional initiatives and networks.
The first phase of NETCAB ended in September 1998, and the second phase started in October 1998. NETCAB II will run for three years up to September 2000. The expected outputs include increased institutional management, strengthened national and regional capacity, increased dialogue and improved dissemination of information on the environment. The quantities of the outputs will be based on an evaluation during and at the end of the project.
Case studies on the state of the environment assessments will be carried out in Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
