Monitoring • Event books introduced in Omatendeka and follow-up in Ehirovipuka. • Follow-up in all East Caprivi conservancies – this was a mid-year review for 6 conservancies/emerging conservancies. • Evaluation of Tsiseb (RISE) • Initiated event book at Otjimboyo (Swakop MET support) • Filing system initiated in Caprivi
Mapping • Boundaries for two new conservancies in process of being mapped in Otjouzondjupa. • Boundary maps and descriptions have been completed for 3 conservancies in Kunene – Ozondundu, Okangundumba and Anabeb. • Tracks and features mapped in Sorris Sorris – supported by MET. • Mapping support to NACSO partners – e.g. Lodge development in north-west. • Ortho-photos processed for the north.
Game Counts • Counts undertaken in Caprivi conservancies. NRWG in partnership with IRDNC provided technical support. • North-west count.
Support to MET • Incident book for protected areas in north-east. • Follow-up GIS support to Katima and Rundu. • Briefing document on the impacts of trophy hunting in the north-west. • Busy working with DSS and P&W Management Manual for THE UTILIZATION OF GAME IN CONSERVANCIES • Establishing GIS for MET Tsumkwe office. • Processed ortho-photos for rhino census.
Central Windhoek Node: • Provides roll-out systems and baseline-data • Provides technical support • Provides and facilitates training • Provides incentives for data sharing • Maintains data standards, directory structures, metadata • Acquires support for GIS development and provides grants to regional nodes • Coordinates regional GIS activities • Regional User Nodes: • Essentially end users – practical people who occasionally use GIS in their daily work • Depend on central support for training, baseline data, etc. Support strategy for GIS in Namibia
Other Activities • Participation in WSSD through GISD alliance • Benefits include: • Raising profile of CBNRM • Software • Geo-spatial resources • Webmapping and training
