ReNOKA is an inclusive movement of different stakeholders including, government, development partners, communities, CSOs and private sector working together to succeed.

Steering structures

As the most important river in Southern Africa, shared between four countries, protecting the source of the Orange-Senqu River in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho is critical. Achieving this requires the cooperation and support of governments, civil society, businesses and local communities.

ReNOKA is being driven by the Government of Lesotho, with support from the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation (BMZ). It is implemented by the Integrated Catchment Management Coordination Unit in the Ministry of Natural Resources in Lesotho in partnership with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Together with local partners that include technical experts, local businesses and communities, ReNOKA will build a capable framework to restore, protect and manage the Orange-Senqu River Basin, starting in Lesotho.

Find out more about ReNOKA’s governance structure.

None of this would be possible without the support and work of communities, young people, herders, farmers, men and women who are working to restore our land and water resources.
