Abstract:

The essence of the consultative meeting between potential actors and stakeholders in Conservation Agriculture (CA) in Botswana, especially along the Okavango Delta, was to explore how CA could be introduced to Botswana in the most sustainable and appropriate way. Specialists and experienced NGOs and other implementers in Namibia and Zambia attended, with thirty two participants who met for 3 days at the Krokovango-Leseding Information Centre near Shakawe. The workshop was hosted by the Pabalelo Trust and the Livelihoods Component of SAREP, Maun. Representatives from Botswana included NGOs from the Panhandle area as well as Ghanzi, researchers, government representatives and representatives from the Botswana College of Agriculture. The resource organizations from Namibia included those who introduced CA in Zambia and Namibia (GART, CEDP) and NRC, with NNF representing those expanding and monitoring the concept.
