Abstract:

The exchange visit was designed to enable directors of various government departments from SADC states to examine the Mahenye community's CAMPFIRE project in the southeast lowveld in Zimbabwe, as a working model of CBNRM principles. Specifically, the objective was to contribute to the development of an enbaling environment that will facilitate CBNRM being accepted as a key element in economic development strategies. This was achieved during the workshop by creating a common understanding of processes, issues, principles and constraints that affect CBNRM in southern Africa, and developing a set of guidelines and recommendations concerning the development of natural resource-related policies in the region.
