C.A.R.E. Ltd. has been working with Dagmar Honsbein (an official from the Ministry of Finance, Namibia and a policy expert) and the Polytechnic of Windhoek, Namibia on a study on the cost-benefit analysis of removing encroachment bush from farmland in Namibia. The work was funded by the Namibian Agronomic Board. The overall objective of the work was to identify a variety of appropriate bush encroachment management practices, both current ones and promising new practices, based on a cost-benefit analysis assessment incorporating economic, ecological and social criteria.
