CIFOR in partnership with Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (CIRAD) and others (FAO and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)) is implementing a project entitled Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in the KaZa (Kavango-Zambezi) Transfrontier Conservation Area. Activities will be carried out in the Zambian and Zimbabwean parts of the KAZA under the auspices of CIRAD, with CIFIR focusing primarily on Zambia and will work in close collaboration with Zambian administrations in charge of wildlife management, forestry and fisheries. SWM is a 6 years project funded by the European Union that started in July 2017. Its overall objective is to reconcile the challenges of wildlife conservation with those of food security in a set of key socio-ecosystems (forest, wetland and water), promoting sustainable and legal exploitation of resilient animal populations by indigenous rural populations, while increasing/ diversifying the protein supply for the benefit of rural and urban populations. Under the supervision of the country office in Lusaka (International Technical Officer) Zambia as well as the SWM KaZa site coordinator, and in collaboration with the other SWM partners, the Community-based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) Technical Assistant will have a leading role in the implementation of SWM activities in Zambia.
