Evaluering
Final Evaluation of the Regional Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) Capacity Building Programme for Southern Africa
This programme was established to address the challenges facing CBNRM in Southern Africa, such as policies which were not explicitly inclusive of communities in wildlife management and benefits; or, where there was policy, limited implementation of it, or poor monitoring of natural resources. This was addressed through the establishment and strengthening of civil society networks which then worked to lobby government and advocate for improved policy and / or implementation. The programme was implemented in six countries namely Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The goal of the programme was: “Improved rural livelihoods at the household level attained through sustainable management of natural resources by communities in southern Africa.”
