These will contribute to maintaining healthy fish and terrestrial wildlife populations. It is being implemented by the Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission in coordination with CIFOR. The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organization of African, Caribbean, and the Pacific States, which is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). It mobilizes an international group of partner organizations with experience and expertise in wildlife conservation, food security, and policy development. It is implemented through a consortium partnership, which includes the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD). Activities are being implemented in 15 participating countries, namely Botswana, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Congo, Senegal, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe. -

NewsletterNewsletterSWM Community Conservancy Project newsletter, Issue 2 - January to December 2022 2023
Also available in:
We are pleased to release the second issue of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Community Conservancy (CC) Project newsletter. Under the SWM Programme, this new Project, funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and co-funded by the European Union (EU), is now almost halfway through its implementation. We are working together with communities across the Kavango-Zambezi (KaZa) region in North-East Namibia and Northern Botswana, promoting the CC model to achieve coexistence between people, livestock and wildlife in this biodiversity-rich landscape. This model builds on the Community- Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) approach implemented by the SWM Programme in Zambia and Zimbabwe. This includes several initiatives, such as building partnerships with the private sector, which redirect the flow of socio-economic benefits to local communities. This approach will also benefit conservation by reducing unsustainable hunting for wild meat and mitigating human-wildlife conflict. A strong network of CCs will enhance connectivity between habitats in the KaZa landscape and contribute to conservation efforts in this unique region. We are proud to be partnering with Wild Entrust Africa (WEA) in Botswana and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Namibia, as well as with the respective Governments, to enhance synergies between wildlife conservation and community well-being.
