Presence of a functional water regulator

Wastewater management There is a dearth of recent data regarding wastewater management. Available data show that the amount of wastewater produced was expected to reach 381 million m 3 /year in 2017, 80 per cent of which is discharged directly into water bodies without treatment (International Trade Administration [ITA] 2017).

Level of participation in transboundary water infrastructure and institutional arrangements

• Permanent Joint Technical Commission (PJTC) on the Cunene River, set up with Namibia • Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM), established in 1994 with Namibia and Botswana • Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM), set up in 2004 with Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe • Observer status in the International Commission of the Congo-Oubangui-Sangha Basin (CICOS)

Environment for private sector participation

• Law No. 2/11 on public-private partnerships of 14 January 2011 and the General Plan for Public-Private Partnerships.
