The contractor is expected to support logistics in executing the launch workshop to be held in Gaborone, Botswana for training and launch of the CRIDA process, and developing a collaborative workplan over the next 2-3 years. � The contractor shall coordinate with the OKACOM Secretariat (OKASEC), U.S. Department of State Embassy Gaborone representative (STATEGAB) and USACE-IWR and USACE-NAD.
