The Cubango-Okavango River Basin (CORB) is a transboundary system that flows through Angola, Botswana and Namibia. It emanates from the Angolan highlands and is drained by the Cubango River (known as the Kavango in Namibia and the Okavango in Botswana) which forms the border between Namibia and Angola, as well as by its main tributary, the Cuito, and flows 1,260 km before spilling into the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. The CORB supports an astounding variety and abundance of terrestrial and freshwater animal and plant life, and it is essential to the livelihoods of more than a million people who directly rely on its natural resources and ecosystem services. The CORB Fund is a public benefit organization and was established to address the urgent challenges facing the Basin and to deploy an alternative resilient development pathway.
