The Orange-Senqu River Awareness Kit (Orange-Senqu RAK) is an on-line and DVD-ROM-based tool designed to support capacity development in ORASECOM and raise awareness for transboundary water issues in southern Africa. This central focal point for knowledge related to the Orange-Senqu River basin serves as a hub for information management and dissemination for ORASECOM. The structure of the Orange-Senqu RAK (themes and chapters) was defined through participatory processes involving stakeholders from all four basin states of the Orange-Senqu River basin. Project outputs from the ongoing programe of technical activities managed by ORASECOM will be integrated as they become available along with the results of other relevant studies.
