The TFCAs in the Zambezi basin are at different stages of development with some Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) signed to facilitate their establishment while other conservation agreements still at the conceptual phase. Among those with MOUs in the Zambezi River Basin are Kavango-Zambezi TFCA, covering Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe and the Malawi-Zambia TFCA. Those still at conceptual phase include the ZIMOZA covering areas in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia; the Selous-Niassa TFCA, covering parts of Mozambique and Tanzania; the Lower Zambezi-Mana Pools betwee ...
