Cubango-Okavango Climate-Resilient Livelihoods DSS

Multi-Level Agent Types (Livelihood households, Communities, Basin manager, OKACOM / member-state policy)

👤 Individual (Livelihood households):

Four PPO-trained classes — Smallholders (rainfed cropping), Pastoralists (livestock + transhumance), Floodplain (Molapo) farmers (recession-flood cropping), Fishers (effort + cooperatives) — plus rule-based Tourism operators and Urban water utilities (Maun WUC, Rundu)

🤝 Community (per sub-basin):

Aggregate household state, broadcast intervention availability and subsidy signals, mediate between basin-level water signals and individual decisions

🌊 Basin manager (sub-basin water):

Translates SWAT+ supply + GloFAS routed discharge + ABM water demand into the per-sub-basin water-stress picture the policy level perceives

🏛️ Policy (OKACOM / member-state):

Sets the WP100 intervention portfolio (drip irrigation, conservation ag, herd vaccination, etc.) and subsidy level; perceives basin outcomes and adapts when the adaptive flag is set

Cross-scale flow: policy portfolio → basin signals → community broadcasts → household decisions; aggregated back upward each step. Households also feed water demand back into the SWAT↔ABM coupling, closing the loop on perceived water availability.
