About RESCCUE
Building resilience to climate change through integrated coastal management and economic instruments.
The Great South lakes area was listed in 2014 under the Ramsar Wetlands Convention, which required implementing a management plan for the listed sites. RESCCUE provided support in developing the integrated management plan at the Southern Province’s behest by setting up a monitoring committee, carrying out a baseline study and holding participatory workshops in 2016 and a broad public hearing in 2017. The plan's final version contains 5 long-term objectives, 18 ten-year operational objectives and over 60 activities for achieving them. It is currently pending political approval by the Provincial Assembly’s Environment Commission.
