Stakeholder Feedback on CBNRM Policies Report

Publication Year:

Abstract:

This Stakeholder Feedback on Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) Policies Report responds to Task 7 of the Millennium Challenge Account Namibia (MCA-N) Conservancy Needs Assessment (CNA) Scope of Services (SOS): "Identify any conservancy-related policy reform needs to enhance the success of MCA Namibia’s Conservancy Support Activity". This report identifies required policy reforms based on stakeholder consultation (Sub-task 3.7.2.1), prioritises the required reforms (Sub-task 3.7.2.2), and recommends steps to achieve the reforms (Sub-task 3.7.2.2). The information in this report was gathered through consultation with a cross-section of Namibian CBNRM Programme stakeholders. The ARD, Inc. Team included policy-related questions in the fieldbased needs assessment carried out in 27 registered conservancies and one emerging conservancy in October–December 2009, and assessed policy issues in an assessment of potentially emerging San conservancies around the Etosha National Park carried out in late 2009. A full record of the issues raised by conservancies and CBNRM Programme stakeholders is provided in Appendices 1 and 2. The following are the most important policy reform issues identified by conservancies and CBNRM Programme stakeholders.
