Abstract
The report describes the process of Transformative Scenario Planning (TSP), and outcomes of the first workshop regarding current problems related to water in Omusati region. Participants most frequently pointed to inadequate water infrastructure and the lack of universal water access. They saw water harvesting as a crucial way to capture floodwater for use during times of drought. TSP enables politicians, civil servants, activists, businesspeople, trade unionists, academics, and leaders of other stakeholder groups to work together to construct a shared understanding and then to act on the basis of this understanding.
