Constrains
• Lack of continuity of conservancies operation – Lack of management succession plans and skills transfer
• Resources and capacity stretch due to neighboring conservancies calls (e.g. Ohungu, Blaufes and Spitzkoppe conservancies)
• Literacy level leads to poor contracts management (Size, technical jargons)
![Page 12: Erongo & Southern Kunene regions update 9 th February 2005](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681529f550346895dc0c60d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Constrains conti.
• There is a great need for Windhoek based NGOs to consult when going in the field and inform local based organizations on pledge they made.
• Lack of inter-ministerial policies coordination (Environment VS Mining)
![Page 13: Erongo & Southern Kunene regions update 9 th February 2005](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/5681529f550346895dc0c60d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Key Lesson Learned
• The is a need for conservancy to move from Welfare operational principles to business sense
• The paradigm of wildlife conservation and tourism is good but not enough to support rural livelihood, therefore there is need for us to focus towards integrated resources management
