The National Agricultural Support Services Programme (NASSP) has agreed in its annual workplan for 2005/06 to fund the development and initial working of a series of regional groups working on developing sustainable livelihood opportunities from indigenous plants. These "eco-regional satellite centres" (ERSC) would in turn work with the multi-stakeholder Indigenous Plants Task Team to achieve the stated aims of that group. A first effort to establish Eco-regional Satellite Centres of the Indigenous Plant Task Team was made at the beginning of 2004. Stakeholders meetings were held in Outapi, Eenhana, Ongwediwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, and Ben Hur, where ERSC co-ordinators were elected. These co-ordinators were subsequently invited to IPTT meetings and an intensive training workshop. In March 2005 a service contract was signed with CRIAA SA-DC to allow for the continuation of the support to Eco-regional Satellite Centres. The second phase of the ERSC program runs from March 2005 until December 2006. A capital expenditure budget of N$ 113'100 had to be finalised before the end of August 2005. This report summarises the progress made between March and August 2005.
