Abstract:

2015-2025 Priority Areas: 1. Diversifying and integrating Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) - enabling communities to integrate the management of wildlife, forests, rangelands, fisheries and other natural resource management and resource-based economic activities. 2. Revitalizing community governance - with a particular focus of strengthening and mobilising the membership of conservancies to play a greater role in the oversight and leadership of their areas. 3. Increasing benefits to households and individuals - working to ensure that the growing revenue and natural resource-based opportunities in conservancies and the wider rural landscape benefit conservancy members and other individuals directly. 4. Supporting transboundary natural resource management - with a focus on Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, achieve tangible progress in community-based natural resource management in communal lands in neighboring countries, particularly Zambia and Angola, and strengthening ties between communities in those countries and those in Zambezi Region. 5. Strengthening the constituency for CBNRM - revitalising the narrative around CBNRM both inside and outside of Namibia, including key actors in Namibia such as traditional authorities, politicians, and government agencies, as well as global audiences and decision-makers that influence the ability of Namibian communities to generate benefits from wildlife and other resources through trade and enterprise.
