Implementation of the NRMPS is economically efficient. It has been shown that costs associated with implementation of sound rangeland management are recovered through increased financial and economic income. Adoption of sound grazing management plans, with attention to the principles outlined above, holds potential for significantly increased profits and returns on investment for rangeland users. Implementation of the NRMPS will also considerably enhance the contribution that rangeland use makes to the national economy. In the short to medium term lost rangeland productivity can be recovered. As time goes on, with increased adoption, and improved skills and understanding among range users, national income amounting to some N$5 billion might be added to the national economy from the rangeland use sector. Such benefits can go a long way towards mitigating and reversing the anticipated negative effects of climate change and increasing drought incidence in Namibia.
