closed

The Namibian Coast Conservation and Management Project aims at Strengthening conservation, sustainable use and mainstreaming of biodiversity in coastal and marine ecosystems. The project consists of the following components: Component 1) will address three key areas identified by the government from a policy, legal, institutional, financial and planning point of stand, conducive to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use. Component 2) will link to the ongoing decentralization process as well as contribute to improved effectiveness of institutions engaged in Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) by filling the capacity gap at local, regional and national levels. Component 3) will contribute to the overall framework for ICZM along the Namibian Coast by using targeted investments and activities to address on-the-ground gaps in coastal biodiversity conservation. Component 4) will support the establishment and operation of a Project Coordination Office (PCO) housed in the Erongo Regional Council that will facilitate satisfactory achievements.
