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

Management & Monitoring System

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.

Emerging Kunene Conservancies

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.

Support strategy for GIS in Namibia

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.

Other Activities

• Participation in WSSD through GISD alliance

• Benefits include:– Raising profile of CBNRM– Software– Geo-spatial resources– Webmapping and training
