This month, I am working on a media kit to inform journalists about the Orange-Senqu River Commission (ORASECOM), which was established by the governments of Lesotho, South Africa, Botswana and Namibia to create enviornmental sustainability of the Orange River basin.

It's a big and exciting initiative that aims to tackle a wide range of environmental issues, inlcuding the protection of the basin, optimal use of the river, Southern Africa's water footprint, job creation and climate change. Some major funding organisations, like the European Union and GTZ, have pooled their resources to support the initiative.

I am producing a fully-fledged media kit that will help journalists to report in-depth on the work ORASECOM is doing. It will include everything from fact sheets, press releases, an info booklet, a brief history of the commission and an overview of the many projects that are happening to conserve the river. Hopefully, we'll see some interesting reporting come out of this.
